AirAsia celebrated its service resumption from Kuala Lumpur to Pattaya, Thailand’s eighth largest city famed for its lovely seashores, water sports activities actions and leisure venues.
The inaugural flight with an in depth to 90 per cent load issue, departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Terminal 2) at 11.20 AM and landed in U-Tapao–Rayong–Pattaya International Airport at 12.05 PM native time. Guests onboard flight AK840 have been celebrated with a water cannon salute upon arrival in Pattaya and warmly acquired by AirAsia Allstars and representatives from the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
The reinstatement of the route to Pattaya marks the airline’s ninth direct route to Thailand – from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Penang – following Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport), Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport), Krabi, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Hatyai.
