HONG KONG - Commencing on 13 November, Hong Kong Airlines will officially launch daily flight service to Krabi, Thailand. An all-economy class Airbus A320 aircraft will be deployed on the Krabi route. Hong Kong Airlines will be the only carrier providing direct link between Hong Kong and Krabi.

Situated at the southern province on Thailand's Andaman seaboard, Krabi retains most of the primitive natural landscape. The fertile farmlands are perfect for producing a variety of natural agricultural produce, such as rubber trees, palms, coconuts and coffee. Krabi is becoming a new popular tourist destination and attracts tourists who want a break from the hustle bustle of big cities. The city is heavily surrounded by clean and clear sea water, tranquil beaches and bays, lush mountains, colourful coral reefs and a wide range of sea creatures, as well as more than 130 nearby large and small islands. Cave exploration, rock climbing, kayaking, sea fishing and snorkelling are also among the top activities in Krabi. In addition, Krabi is famous for quality and reasonably priced Thai cuisine among the southwestern areas in Thailand, especially the great seafood options which allows you to fully relax and enjoy your vacation in the paradise.

Mr. Li Dianchun, Commercial Director of Hong Kong Airlines said, "Hong Kong Airlines attaches great importance to its Thailand Market. We are delighted to further expand our Thailand network to Krabi, which is the perfect paradise for vacation.
