Thai AirAsia has unveiled plans to launch
flights between Don Mueang Airport (DMK) in Bangkok and Lampang,
the third largest city in northern Thailand and the airline’s 25th
domestic destination in the Kingdom.
Scheduled to take off on 1 October 2024, the
airline will operate the route with daily flights using Airbus
A320 aircraft.
Flight FD3923 is slated to depart from Bangkok
(DMK) at 11:10, arriving at Lampang Airport (LPT) at 12:20.

From Lampang, Thai AirAsia flight FD3924 is
scheduled to leave at 12:50 and arrive in Bangkok at 14:05.
Thai AirAsia operates 34 domestic
routes, connecting all the country’s regions with a total 612
flights per week.
“The demand for domestic routes has continued to rise
and AirAsia is matching the growth by continuing to connect the
dots across Thailand,” said Khun Santisuk Klongchaiya, CEO of Thai
AirAsia. “In the first half of 2024, the average load factor
for domestic flights at Thai AirAsia was 90 percent thanks to both
domestic travelers and international visitors who make AirAsia
their preferred mode of transportation to explore the Kingdom … With
the Lampang Airport expansion now
complete, we look forward to being of service to guests from both
cities from 1 October.”
To celebrate the new service, the airline has
launched a promotion with one-way fares starting from 990 THB for travel from 1 October 2024
to 29 March
2025. The special deal is subject to availability and valid until
28 July 2024. Terms and conditions apply.
