“Our first direct flight to Japan’s Fukuoka, initially served four times a week, was very well received and is now flying seven times a week. Looking for another opportunity to serve travellers, we chose to make Okinawa our second destination and look forward to it being a top choice among Thai and Japanese tourists alike,” Mr. Santisuk said.
Currently, Thai AirAsia (FD) operates two direct routes to Japan, Bangkok (Don Mueang) – Fukuoka one time per day, and Bangkok (Don Mueang) – Okinawa four times a week starting 2 April.
