Bangkok Airways will launch the first direct flight from Hanoi to Chiang Mai and vice versa, from March 25, 2018.
This is part of the airline’s efforts to satisfy the increasing travel demand to Hanoi – one of the fastest growing travel hubs in Southeast Asia and Chiang Mai – an exotic cultural and historical gem in northern Thailand, according to Bangkok Airways report.
Following the launch of Bangkok-Da Nang and Bangkok-Phu Quoc direct flights, it is the first airline to implement the direct route Hanoi-Chiang Mai with flights operated by 70 seater ATR 72-500/600 aircraft.
“The newly-opened route will be a great option for the people of the dynamic and populous capital as well as all global citizens who want to explore another culturally stunning destination after Hanoi, only two inflight hours without transfer,” Varong Israsena Na Ayudhya, Bangkok Airways’ Vice President was quoted as saying.
The average load factor on Bangkok – Da Nang and Bangkok - Phu Quoc air routes is 70%. This indicates huge tourism potential in Vietnam, Varong added.
Chiang Mai is the largest city in northern Thailand. It is the capital of Chiang Mai Province and was a former capital of the kingdom of Lan Na (1296–1768), which later became the Kingdom of Chiang Mai. It is 700 km (435 mi) north of Bangkok and is situated amongst the highest mountains in the country. The city sits astride the Ping River, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya River.
75% of asked people had expressed interests in visiting Chiang Mai for its beautiful scenery, festivals and affordable travel expenses, according to a survey by Bangkok Airways found.
Bangkok Airways is Thai private airlines and was established in 1968. It is operating 38 planes to over 20 destinations in Thailand and the Asia region.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is cooperating with Vietjet Group to open direct flights from Vietnam to Thailand, probably from Ho Chi Minh City to Khon Kaen to enhance travel movement.
Thailand targets to attract 37 million foreign visitors and earn US$92 billion in tourism revenue in 2018, according to the Thai Ministry of Tourism and Sports report.
