Thai AirAsia X adds Fukuoka route

Thai AirAsia X has launched a new route operating four times a week from Bangkok to Fukuoka to open up a new tourism region in Japan for Thai travellers. "Due to issues with IATA Operational Safety Audits during the past six years, Thailand's airline industry ratings suffered," said Nadda Buranasiri, CE of Thai AirAsia X. "Yet AirAsia X has built credibility in operations," he said. "We plan to expand in the near future to Chinese destinations, as neighbouring countries are already our strength." The airline flies direct from Bangkok's Don Mueang airport to nine cities in four countries -- Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Shanghai, Tianjin and Brisbane -- using 10 Airbus A330-300 jets.<br/>
