inside no 1The airline currently operates services from Bangkok (DMK) to Tokyo (NRT), with twice daily flights, Osaka (KIX) daily, and Seoul (ICN) daily.
Thai AirAsia X temporarily suspended services to Sapporo, Japan, 1 August, due to an unresolved Thai aviation failure related to security and safety procedure checks that the ICAO claimed the DCA fell short of its standard.
However, Thai AirAsia X was given temporary permission from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) to fly a daily service from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport (DMK) to New Chitose Airport (CTS) in Sapporo, to ensure minimum impact on passengers. AirAsia X (Malaysia) also supplied flights to reduce the impact.
However, due to a failure of the Thailand’s Department of Civil Aviation to resolve issues according to ICAO standards, the airline was forced to suspend Sapporo flights indefinitely.
