New Route-Air Asia To Siem Reap

[UbonOz]

AA has released a new route from DMK which appears to start in October. REP does not appear in their schedule yet when you check the drop down box.

Fares are from THB79 plus taxes which are close to THB1,000, one way/person. Fares are available from today.

Nice to have some more competition on this route.

Just checked Bangkok Airways cheapest fare in October, THB11,220/return/person including taxes.

Air Asia in October, THB2,208/return/person including taxes.

AA sale fare, 15 to 24 July, Travel 1 October 2013 to 5 August 2014.

Will be interesting to see AA's regular fare when not on sale.

Would like, AIR ASIA starts flying Bangkok - Sihanoukville-Cambodia, the Cambodian beach town.

Yes, nice to see them add Siem Reap to their route.

This is great news, however at one flight daily, I bet it won't hurt Bangkok Airways too bad.

FD2850 DMK – REP 10.30 - 11.30 Daily

FD2851 REP – DMK 12.15 – 13.15 Daily

Thai AirAsia CEO Tassapon Bijleveld, said: “this year, AirAsia is focusing on the Indochina market as it heads toward the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community, or AEC. We have been looking for new routes and identified for a long time Siem Reap as a destination that would enhance our network. The city will be our sixth stop in Indochina for us once it begins on 1 October, 2013, following after Yangon, Mandalay, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Phnom Penh”.
