AirAsia increases Mekong Region services

AirAsia will increase flights to Yangon and Siem Reap later this month to strengthen its Mekong Region network.
The airline will add flights on its most popular routes; Bangkok (Don Mueang)-Yangon to 28 flights weekly starting 24 January and Bangkok (Don Mueang)-Siem Reap to 14 flights weekly starting 27 January.
Thai AirAsia CEO, Tassapon Bijleveld, said the Mekong Region is important for the airline, which has enjoyed sustained high passenger growth.
Currently, AirAsia flies to six destinations in the region– Yangon, Mandalay, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. It also wants to fly to Vientiane, capital of Laos but the aviation policy tends to protects the national airline and full-service airlines flying to Vientiane and Luang Prabang, although THAI Smile is now serving Luang Prabang with four weekly flights.
