Vietjet Thailand to fly to KL from Bangkok on Oct 9
KUALA LUMPUR: Vietjet Thailand, the subsidiary of low-cost carrier Vietjet Air, will start flying daily to Kuala Lumpur from Bangkok on Oct 9 using its Boeing B737-8 aircraft.
Vietjet Thailand, the low-cost subsidiary of Vietjet Air, will commence daily direct flights from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur starting October 9, 2021, on a Boeing B737-8 aircraft. Pinyot Pibulsonggram, the vice president of commercial and customer service for Vietjet Thailand, emphasized that this route is a crucial component of the airline's strategy to expand its regional network.
This move aims to bolster Bangkok's position as a vital transit hub for Malaysian travelers bound for Thailand and the broader region. Pibulsonggram highlighted the company's commitment to fostering enduring demand in both directions by collaborating closely with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Tourism Malaysia, travel agents, and industry partners.
The new service will operate out of KLIA Terminal 2 (KLIA T2) from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. This will mark Vietjet Thailand's inaugural direct service to Malaysia, following its initial international route to Nha Trang from Bangkok on January 29, 2021. The airline anticipates that this new service will also facilitate connections for travelers from Malaysia to Vietjet Thailand's domestic and international network.
Furthermore, Vietjet Thailand is actively broadening its international presence across Asia Pacific by connecting Thailand to destinations such as Japan, China, Vietnam, Taipei, Cambodia, India, and South Korea, among others. Presently, the airline operates 12 domestic routes from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to various destinations including Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, Krabi, Udon Thani, Hat Yai, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Surat Thani.
Additionally, the carrier provides cross-regional flights, such as those between Phuket and Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai.
