“Thai AirAsia X is always ready to spread its wings to new markets and our entry into Georgia is very exciting. With strong partners and full support from the Georgian National Tourism Administration and local authorities, we are confident that our marketing plan to attract Georgian travelers to Thailand will be well received,” Mr Kla said.

Thai AirAsia X continues its network expansion with direct flights to the two largest cities in Australia, flying direct from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi) to Melbourne and Sydney for the very first time, commencing 1 and 2 December 2022. 

Four weekly flights direct to Sydney Airport on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and to Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) three times a week on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays are on sale from today starting from just 5,990 THB one way!

Served by the spacious 377-seat Airbus A330 aircraft with 12 upfront business-class reclining seats for extra comfort and 365 economy seats, including a quiet zone from rows 7 - 14, both routes present convenient, economical and affordable travel between Australia and Thailand whether for leisure, visiting friends and family or international studies.

Mr Tassapon Bijleveld, Acting CEO of Thai AirAsia X said:“Thailand and Australia have maintained strong relations for over 70 years, and Australia is among the top three educational destinations for Thai students as well as a leading travel destination for Thai tourists. 

“Thai AirAsia X is very excited to be adding Sydney and Melbourne as two key destinations in Australia this year, with a priority on these two cities as amongst the most popular routes. Having recently resumed services to South Korea and Japan, we are thrilled that we are now expanding to Sydney and Melbourne as our next key growth markets. As Australia’s largest cities, they both have much to offer in terms of strong economy, tourism and education, making them prime additions to Thai AirAsia X’s growing network. 

“Both Thailand and Australia have strong characteristics that mutually attract travellers from both sides of the hemisphere. . Thai AirAsia X is fully ready to serve these direct flights between Bangkok and Australia, be it for leisure, business or education.

“Bangkok is a one stop shop for nightlife, culture, shopping and local Thai cuisine for international travellers. Not only that but it's a key hub for Australian travellers to have a world of destinations to fly to from there throughout AirAsia's vast network which they can connect to through Bangkok to many more leisure favourite destinations including Phuket and the whole of Asean” Mr Tassapon said.

Greg Botham, Chief Commercial Officer Sydney Airport, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Thai AirAsia X as our newest international carrier as we continue to support the recovery of our international network.

Thai AirAsia X seeks bankruptcy protection........


Thai AirAsia X, the low fare long haul carrier, has begun preparations to initiate a rehabilitation process after its submission on 17 May,2022  was accepted by the Thai Central Bankruptcy Court on 18 May, 2022. This move marks the third Thai airline in recent times to file for bankruptcy, following on from Nok and Thai Airways.

Thai Air Asia X says the main objective is to revamp the company’s administration process and restructure its debts, delivering greater efficiency and a solid platform for robust future growth after weathering the COVID-19 pandemic. The process will have no impact on passengers as operations will continue as usual and Thai AirAsia X prepares to reintroduce flights to South Korea and Japan from June 2022 onwards.    

The filing for rehabilitation by Thai AirAsia X will furthermore have no impact or any effect on Thai AirAsia (FD) and Asia Aviation Plc. (AAV), which are separate entities with discrete operations and routes.

Mr Patima Jeerapaet, Chief Executive of Thai AirAsia X, explained that the airline’s decision to enter into rehabilitation at this time was made to enhance the administration process in the best interests of its business progress, especially in terms of managing the company’s debt, which has been impacted over the past two years of pandemic. He confidently expressed that all of the carrier’s stakeholders would fully support the move.

“Thai AirAsia X has entered into rehabilitation at an appropriate time with tourism recovering and the nation reopening. We assure that this process will have no impact on our services of passengers or flight plans during this process. Passengers who have already booked or are looking to book our flights will be able to fly to South Korea and Japan starting this June 2022. Thai AirAsia X also has further plans for expansion and will be adding flight frequencies and new routes in line with demand” Mr Patima said.

Once the Thai Central Bankruptcy Court grants its order for Thai AirAsia X to enter into the rehabilitation process, the carrier will draft a rehabilitation plan and bolster its liquidity to ensure it operates at full capacity. Progress on the company’s rehabilitation process will be reported periodically.
