Thai AirAsia extends reach with more China services
Thai AirAsia is strengthening its footprint in China with an expanded network and more frequent flights. TAA will introduce 2 new routes -- Bangkok-Chengdu and Phuket-Kunming -- Feb 1 next year to bring its overall Thailand-China connections to 22 routes across 14 cities. Kathleen Tan, AirAsia president for China, said the high potential of the Chinese market propelled the airline's continued network expansion there. She said AirAsia flights to China have an average load factor of 87%, a satisfactory level for the group. AirAsia started flying to China in 2004 and entered Chengdu from Kuala Lumpur in 2009, a route that it continues to operate on a daily basis, sustaining a load factor of 86%. Thai tourists are increasingly fond of visiting China, while Chinese have become the biggest nationality in terms of arrivals in Thailand. <br/>
