Dal primo ottobre, decisione spontanea ?

AirAsia Ready to Transfer Flight Operations to Don Mueang Airport from October 1st, 2012

Bangkok, 25 June 2012


AirAsia affirms its readiness to transfer all operations to Don Mueang International Airport by October 1st, 2012. The airline assures Don Mueang Airport will be able to accommodate its growing fleet and provide its customers with the utmost satisfaction.

Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia, said that AirAsia’s decision to return to Don Mueang Airport was carefully assessed as he noted that the capabilities of Don Mueang Airport are in line with AirAsia’s own growth plan. Thorough consideration into transferring to Don Mueang Airport found that the airport’s capabilities, coupled with the Airports of Thailand Company’s assistance measures, meant AirAsia could better manage its cost more effectively and provide passengers with improved service.

“The uncongested Don Mueang Airport is sure to prove a benefit to AirAsia when it boosts its fleet of Airbus A320s to a total of 48 and welcomes more customers. The airport’s location also makes it conducive to further travel. Prospective travelers should have confidence in what Don Mueang has to offer”, said Mr. Tassapon.

AirAsia has scheduled October 1st this year as the date when all of its services will be based at Don Mueang Airport. The airline’s flights will retain their FD code and original schedules. Passengers who are affected by the switch to Don Mueang Airport, may alter their flights by either choosing another travel date on the same route either 7 days before or after their original travel date, at no additional cost. Passengers also have an option to convert the paid flight into credit shell available to be used within the next 90 days. The change options are only available to affected passengers who purchased their tickets before 26 June 2012 whose travel dates are from 1 October 2012 onwards.

E pensare che Don Mueang dovevano chiuderlo definitivamente quando hanno aperto Suvarnhabumi! Si sono accorti che le piste di quest'ultimo affondavano perchè erano state costruite su una palude e l'hanno riaperto. Air Asia non è una compagnia piccola, un aeroporto tutto per sé non potrà che giovare ulteriormente ai suoi piani di espansione.

Ho volato Airasia da BKK a Febbraio e devo dire che hanno moltissimi voli. Spero che con il cambio di aereoporto migliori un pò la situazione dei banchi di drop-off ci ho messo 1h30 per lasciare il mio bagaglio (con web checkin fatto) perchè i banchi di dropoff sono solo 7-8 pochi per tutti i voli che fanno.

Ho volato da Don Muang verso Chiang Mai (cfr. megaTR thailandese del 2009 che non so più dove sia andato a finire), è un aeroporto oggettivamente vecchio ma vicino alla città (taxi = 200thb contro i 350 di BKK) e servito anche dal treno (da Hualampong o meglio Bang Sue).
Se FD farà base lì penso che non avranno problemi ad ampliarsi e attrarre anche le altre Air Asia (Malay, Indonesia) su DMK.
