Yesterday on 27 October, Hong Kong Airlines inaugurated its new daily direct service to Chiang Mai, Thailand, offering travellers more options for exploring the popular destinations of Northern Thailand. The launch coincides perfectly with Thailand’s Loy Krathong (Festival of Light) in November, allowing travellers to experience the vibrant parades and celebrations.
Chiang Mai becomes Hong Kong Airlines’ third destination in Thailand, joining Bangkok and Phuket, with daily flights now available. To commemorate the inaugural flight, a celebration was held at the Hong Kong International Airport, and was officiated by Mr Jeff Sun, President of Hong Kong Airlines; Mr Chaturont CHAIYAKAM, Consul-General of Thailand in Hong Kong; Mrs Phornmon Chansri, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand; and Mr Ricky Chong, Assistant General Manager, Hub Development of the Airport Authority Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Airlines President Mr Jeff Sun said: “Thailand is one of our most popular destinations, and in addition to Chiang Mai, we operate five daily flights to Bangkok and a daily flight to Phuket, all of which are performing very well. Coupled with the recent launch of our routes to Laos and Da Nang, this expansion strengthens our network across Southeast Asia and reinforces Hong Kong Airlines’ commitment to enhancing connectivity along the Belt and Road, facilitating trade, and promoting cultural and economic exchange.”
