AirAsia Resumes Operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Thai AirAsia has officially returned to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) as of October 1, offering daily flights to Chiang Mai, Krabi, and Phuket.
As reported by Khaosod Online, Thai AirAsia resumed flight operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) on October 1, 2026. The airline is now operating three popular domestic routes from this hub: six daily flights to Chiang Mai, two to Krabi, and five to Phuket.
According to Wichunee Kanthapeng, Director of Ground Operations for Thai AirAsia, the airline is fully prepared to manage the increased travel demand expected during the upcoming year-end peak season. On the first day of operations, the airline reported a passenger load factor exceeding 82% across these routes.
For travelers and residents, this development provides greater flexibility, as AirAsia now offers the convenience of flying in and out of Bangkok via two major airports: Don Mueang (DMK) and Suvarnabhumi (BKK). This dual-airport strategy is intended to better accommodate passengers based on their preferred location or transit needs within the capital.
While the airline has confirmed these initial schedules and its readiness for the high season, passengers are encouraged to verify their specific departure and arrival terminals when booking, as the airline continues to operate from both Bangkok hubs. Further adjustments to flight frequencies or additional routes from Suvarnabhumi have not been announced at this time.
