Thai AirAsia X affirms its commitment to the Japanese market by increasing its frequency of flights from Bangkok (Don Mueang) to Tokyo (Narita) from two to three flights per day, allowing travellers to fly in the morning, afternoon and at night just in time for Sakura season.
Nadda Buranasiri, chief executive officer
of Thai AirAsia X, said Tokyo is the number one destination for Thai
travellers to Japan and predicts that the number will grow as this year
continues. The city has high potential for repeat visits, group tours
and Fully Independent Travellers (FIT) as it serves as a jump off point
to the World Heritage City of Nikko and the natural splendour of Nagano,
both of which are becoming increasingly popular. The trend unlocks new
travel opportunities, indicating that Japan truly offers boundless
tourism experiences.
“Meanwhile, Thailand has also grown its popularity among Japanese
visitors. According to 2017 statistics, the number of Japanese
travellers to Thailand rose seven per cent from the previous year and we
believe we can contribute more to the growing proportion of both
Japanese and foreign travellers. As a leading low-cost airline in the
region, we are proud to be supporting the growth of tourism and the
economies of both Thailand and Japan.

“We are committed to improving our services and maintaining our
record set last year of being consistently reliable in terms of On-Time
Performance, averaging as high as 92 per cent on all the routes
combined. This accomplishment signifies our strength beyond being a
low-cost carrier but demonstrating high quality services which helps us
grow constantly,” Nadda said.
The AirAsia brand is becoming better received in the Japanese market
and Thai AirAsia X is determined to continually promote its routes from
Don Mueang to Tokyo, Osaka and the newly added Sapporo. The airline is
supported by flights from its fellow AirAsia group members operating out
of Kuala Lumpur, Bali and Hawaii as well as AirAsia Japan which
operates domestic flights in the country.
