AirAsia continues push for separate LCC airports in Thailand

AirAsia's long-established advocacy for Thailand having airports and terminals dedicated to low-cost carriers is coming to fruition. "I think we are getting to the stage where there will be LCC airports and terminals in Thailand," said Tony Fernandes, CE of AirAsia. He declined to elaborate on the latest outcome from discussions with Thai authorities, saying only the airline's proposition about dedicated terminals and airports floated two years ago has made good progress. AirAsia has been keen to see Thailand and Asean set up airports and terminals especially to serve burgeoning budget air travel traffic and as a means to drive costs among LCCs and passengers downs.<br/>
