AirAsia affirms its readiness to transfer all operations
to Don Mueang International Airport by October 1st, 2012. The airline
assures Don Mueang Airport will be able to accommodate its growing fleet and
provide its customers with the utmost satisfaction.
Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia, said that
AirAsia’s decision to return to Don Mueang Airport was carefully assessed as
he noted that the capabilities of Don Mueang Airport are in line with
AirAsia’s own growth plan. Thorough consideration into transferring to Don
Mueang Airport found that the airport’s capabilities, coupled with the
Airports of Thailand Company’s assistance measures, meant AirAsia could
better manage its cost more effectively and provide passengers with improved
service.
“The uncongested Don Mueang Airport is sure to prove a
benefit to AirAsia when it boosts its fleet of Airbus A320s to a total of 48
and welcomes more customers. The airport’s location also makes it conducive
to further travel. Prospective travelers should have confidence in what Don
Mueang has to offer”, said Tassapon.
AirAsia has scheduled October 1st this year as the date
when all of its services will be based at Don Mueang Airport. The airline’s
flights will retain their FD code and original schedules. Passengers who are
affected by the switch to Don Mueang Airport, may alter their flights by
either choosing another travel date on the same route either 7 days before
or after their original travel date, at no additional cost. Passengers also
have an option to convert the paid flight into credit shell available to be
used within the next 90 days. The change options are only available to
