Easy Airline is set to expand its aviation operations with a new regional service connecting Hua Hin to key southern destinations: Surat Thani, Phuket and Hat Yai. The airline has taken delivery of a brand-new aircraft from the United States, signalling a bold move to promote tourism and improve regional connectivity. Initial operations will begin as charter flights this September.

 

The newly acquired aircraft, a 12-seat Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX, recently landed at Hua Hin Airport, welcomed by a ceremonial water salute and a blessing performed by Buddhist monks from Wat Khao Chong Pradu. On hand to receive the aircraft were Rattaphon Charoenphon, Senior Electrical Engineer and Acting Director of Hua Hin Airport and Pharadorn Tharapak, Managing Director of M-Landarch Co., Ltd., the aviation company backing Easy Airline.

 

According to Mr Rattaphon, Hua Hin Airport is fully prepared to support the incoming operations, with well-equipped runways, parking bays, passenger facilities and security systems. At present, only limited flights operate between Hua Hin and Chiang Mai, running four times per week.

 

Mr Tharapak noted that the newly delivered aircraft is brand new and valued at 150 million baht. The Cessna Grand Caravan EX, known for its durability and adaptability, can operate in various terrains and weather conditions and is easy to maintain. He emphasised that, following the success of Easy Airline’s Hat Yai–Betong route, the expansion into these new routes reflects strong market demand.

 

The company plans to finalise the aircraft’s registration under Thai regulations and begin promotional activities with local tourism businesses and operators in Cha-Am, Hua Hin, Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan. These coastal destinations are popular with both Thai and foreign tourists.

 

The new service aims to provide an alternative travel option while also supporting tourism in southern Thailand.

I would take a flight just for the experience. Now if they would fly to Utapao (Pattaya/Rayong) too, that would be very nice. Then I would not have to take the ferry anymore...... 😎

Good luck; I think this plan should be dead in a few months.

Unbelievable stupid and backwards. 

They can't get a jet aircraft?

Hua hin is losing a lot of business due to the never ending dangerous construction on the highway.  Ridiculous this puddle jumping prop plane.
