AirAsia began its 2 daily Don Mueang- Sakon Nakhon flights today (1 October 2014) to an already stunning response from customers who have brought the route a Load Factor average of 85% all the way until the end of 2014 to Sakon Nakhon’s major holidays, which include the Wax Castle Festival (Prasart Pueng Festival), the end of Buddhist Lent and the Christmas time Star Parade. The route boasts AirAsia’s “Truly Low Fares, Trusted Quality” offering great prices, world class standards, on-time flights and heartfelt service. The inaugural flight also boasted native Sakon Nakhon celebrity “Noomam Suriwipa Kultangwattana” among its passengers. Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, Director of Commercial for Thai AirAsia, stated that Sakon Nakhon is the airline’s latest domestic destination, bringing its total to 15 destinations. The province will be served direct from Bangkok (Don Mueang) 2 daily flights. The new route has already proven popular with strong ticket sales, mostly to the domestic Thai travelers who have made up 95% of tickets sold so far. AirAsia expects nonetheless to be able to attract more foreign tourists to the route, especially during its many year-end festivities such as the Wax Castle Festival, the end of Buddhist Lent from 8-9 October and the Christmas time Star Parade. The happenings will draw international visitors and generate spending. “Until the end of the year, we have advanced bookings for Don Mueang- Sakon Nakhon at an average Load Factor of 85% per flight, a very strong sign that the tourism sector is returning to vibrancy. By offering 2 daily flights, in the morning and evening, I’m sure we can expand our allure to even more customer groups” Mr. Santisuk pointed out. The first flight of the Don Mueang- Sakon Nakhon route on this 1 October 2014 was coded FD3510 and featured among its over 95% Load Factor, Sakon Nakhon native and celebrity Noomam Suriwipa, who led her fellow passengers to view Sakon Nakhon’s most important tourist attractions, such as the Cherng Chum Buddha Relic, the 100 Year Old Ta Rae Village House and Phu Phan Rajanivet Palace as well as for a cruise along the Nong Han Lake. “We will work closely with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the province’s local Chamber of Commerce and its businesses as well as members of the press to promote travel and investment by playing up Sakon Nakhon’s strengths, such as the fact that it is a fun province that is close to other travel locations, including Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan. We will promote cultural tourism based on the northeastern region’s colorful traditions as well as its cuisine. AirAsia has 2 daily direct flights from Bangkok to Nakhon Phanom and will now be able to offer City Transfer services from either Nakhon Phanom or Sakon Nakhon to Mukdahan, we are sure that this will strengthen travel in the area” Mr. Santisuk stated.
