Congraculations. well plan from management.
Maybe Thai Air Asia should be looking at something like Phuket/Luang Prabang sectors as the BKK/LPQ is currently well served by QV and PG (although a shake-up in the fare levels wouldn’t go astray!)
Air Asia should consider to operate service between Phuket and Udon Thani, in order to tap passengers from Laos and Isan to visit Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi and people of the South to visit Laos and Northern Isan.
