Air Asia resumes Sydney to Bangkok flights


Medium haul airline Thai AirAsia X has resumed its direct flight services to and from Sydney, Australia, operating from its main hub in Bangkok at Don Mueang International Airport (DMK).

The inaugural flight from Bangkok took off yesterday on 1 December 2024, and returned from Sydney to Bangkok today. The Bangkok-Sydney service offers a total of six weekly flights on sale now.

The new route launch makes Thai AirAsia X the only low-cost airline providing direct services from Bangkok-Don Mueang to Sydney, offering seamless connections for passengers traveling from Sydney to a wide range of destinations across the AirAsia Group network. These include favourite destinations among Australian travelers such as Krabi, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, as well as popular international destinations like Japan, South Korea, India, China and more.


Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia X said: “The return of Thai AirAsia X to Sydney comes along with an enhanced flight network within the AirAsia Group that will give travelers the much sought after convenience and seamlessness especially with our FlyThru connections to over 50 popular destinations. Guests from Australia will also find the flight schedules between Sydney and Bangkok very favourable and they can choose from six flights per week. As a show of appreciation to our valued guests, we are also introducing a new meal set exclusively for our Premium Flatbed guests.

“Operating from Don Mueang greatly enhances connectivity with AirAsia Group’s extensive network, particularly to destinations in India, where there is a strong and growing  demand for travel to Australia. Our Fly Thru service also provides a hassle-free experience, allowing guests to travel seamlessly as they only need to clear immigration and collect their luggage at their final destination,” said Mr Tassapon.

Thai AirAsia X currently operates a fleet of 10 Airbus A330 aircraft with three seating zones - Premium Flatbed, quiet zone and economy. The airline now serves eight key destinations from Bangkok, with direct flights to Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya (Japan), Seoul (South Korea), Shanghai (China), Sydney (Australia) and New Delhi (India).
