Guests can travel conveniently with FlyThru services connecting to various destinations across Thailand and Asia

Bangkok, 2 December 2024 – Thai AirAsia X has resumed its direct flight services to and from Sydney, Australia, operating from its main hub at Don Mueang International Airport. 

The inaugural flight from Bangkok took off on 1 December 2024, and returned from Sydney today. The Bangkok-Sydney service offers a total of six weekly flights for a start. 

The new route launch makes Thai AirAsia X the only low-cost airline providing direct services from Bangkok-Don Mueang to Sydney, offering seamless connections for passengers traveling from Sydney to a wide range of destinations across the AirAsia Group network. These include favourite destinations among Australian travelers such as Krabi, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, as well as popular international destinations like Japan, South Korea, India and China.

Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia X said: “The return of Thai AirAsia X to Sydney comes along with an enhanced flight network within the AirAsia Group that will give travelers the much sought after convenience and seamlessness especially with our FlyThru connections to over 50 popular destinations. Guests from Australia will also find the flight schedules between Sydney and Bangkok very favourable and they can choose any flight from the increased frequency of six flights per week. As a show of appreciation to our valued guests, we are also introducing a new meal set exclusively for our Premium Flatbed guests.

“Operating from Don Mueang greatly enhances connectivity with AirAsia Group’s extensive network, particularly to destinations in India, where there is a strong and growing  demand for travel to Australia. Our FlyThru service also provides a hassle-free experience, allowing guests to travel seamlessly as they only need to clear immigration and collect their luggage at the final destination,” said Mr Tassapon.

Thai AirAsia X currently operates a fleet of 10 Airbus A330 aircraft. The airline now serves eight key destinations from Bangkok, with direct flights to Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya (Japan), Seoul (South Korea), Shanghai (China), Sydney (Australia), and Delhi (India).
