Hua Hin Airport is set to welcome direct flights from at least five other countries from as early as next month, according to Udon Olsson, advisor to the Transport Ministry and chairman of the Phoenix Aviation Group Thailand.

 

Speaking to local property agent Arnold Ruijs, Mr Udon said that flights will first arrive from Singapore, Hong Kong, South China and India, during the first phase of the airport’s expansion plans, which are being carried out by the Phoenix Aviation Group.

 

Air Asia will also resume its flight to Kuala Lumpur, which had been operating before the COVID-19 pandemic.

China…. The country where their government told them they can’t travel anywhere before the end of 2022. India, really….. why

Greater Bay Airlines has been granted an Air Operator's Certificate but is waiting for its air transport licence to operate regular schedule flights. The other carrier from "South China" is Hong Kong Express. Mainland China is not starting regular flights to Hua Hin. As @Wildliferescuenoted the Chinese can't travel

 

Not starting operations until the first quarter of 2022

but I thought all they could muster up was a few tuk tuks and flip flop Malaysians at the border   ?

am i missing something,   was there others coming .....

before covid there was only one international flight, from KL. I think 1-2x per week.

I think at that time there wasn't any domestic flights.

 

earlier on there was the only connection to CM, ever second day.

 

The latest news from AOT that 80% international slots abandoned for 5 months

 

Malaysia is not allowing visitors except to Langkawi.  So most likely that HH-KL is just for connections, you can't actually deplane at KL.

One wont come, and the other is banned from coming. 

 

May as well declare it open for landing planes for every country on the planet, but not for tourists from the countries they are flying from !

More Bull; China isn't letting anyone out and they are bringing Hong Kong under th same ruling shortly.   Boss of Air Asia says no International Flights will be happening until at least February, only internal flying for now.

 

They just can't stop trying to play themselves up; Idiots !

What about domestic flights to HH?

He woke up one morning after a special dream.....

Does Hua Hin airport now meet the International definition as an International Airport in respect of safety, passenger handling, catering etc?

So, Hua Hin can expect 15 tourists, each spending a million baht apiece to visit temples, thus increasing the Thai GDP for 2021.
