AirAsia ready to link Bali-Phuket

Wednesday, 07 Oct, 2010 0

Flights from Phuket to Bali are expected to be announced shortly as part of a new schedule from AirAsia.

General manager of Thai AirAsia, Tassapon Bijleveld, told local media in Phuket, ”I believe that it’s the dream of many Aussies to fly to Bali and then on to Phuket, So far there has been no direct flight to help that dream come true.”

Tassapon told Phuketwan in June that it was time to link Bali and Phuket and allow Australians to compare both destinations.

”They can spend a few days in each and compare them both,” he added.

”After all, these are the two most desirable destinations in the region. It makes sense to link them. Why have Sydney-Phuket, and Sydney-Bali, but not Phuket-Bali?”

Phuket is a designated AirAsia hub, with daily flights to Hong Kong and other key destinations.
