The airline plans to operate eighteen routes to seven countries starting this April, providing a total 38 flights per week with the aim of reinstating up to 81 flights per week by May 2022.

“AirAsia’s resumption of international flights has been much awaited by both the airline and our guests,” said Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, AirAsia Thailand Chief Executive Officer. “We chose to resume routes to countries that share Thailand’s reopening policy so that our guests can travel without having to worry about quarantine. The routes cover ASEAN and South Asian countries and we are working closely with the Tourism Authority of Thailand and relevant agencies to attract visitors to Thailand while maintaining and adhering to public health measures. With foreign travelers being able to travel throughout Asia, we’ll be leveraging the AirAsia domestic network, helping to generate revenue to all of the nation’s regions.”

With countries in the region beginning to relax their entry requirements, travellers can fly with AirAsia from Thailand without quarantine, while those arriving in Thailand will be able to bypass quarantine with the Test & Go Scheme by registering for an electronic Thailand Pass entry certificate in advance of departure.

Travellers are strongly advised to check the very latest travel requirements of each country they plan to visit before departure.
