Seaplane Shuttle Service Prepares to Launch Flights

PHUKET: -- Destination Air Shuttle, a Thailand-based seaplane shuttle service recently unveiled its fleet of two Cessna Seaplanes which will officially launch services from Phuket International Airport beginning February 1, 2007.

Offering 12 flights per day, leaving every 2 hours from Phuket International Airport, Destination Air Shuttle will serve Phi Phi Island, Krabi and Koh Lanta. Further landing locations are planned for the Similans, Koh Racha, and Khao Lak.

Destination Air Shuttle will connect with international airlines by providing door to door service to most major hotels and resorts in the various islands when guests arrive in Phuket. This significantly reduces the travel time to these resort destinations from the usual half day overland trip to less than 13 minutes to Koh Phi Phi, 20 minutes to Krabi, and 30 minutes to Koh Lanta giving better accessibility in the region. Destination Air Shuttle plans to depart from Phuket International Airport and land directly in the waterfront of most major hotel resorts.
