Additionally, AirAsia Group will operate its first direct flight to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia from Bangkok,” Thai AirAsia X CEO, Pattra Boosarawongse, said. “Launching these routes simultaneously to three different regions is a part of the airline’s expansion to new markets: Central Asia, Northern Asia and the Middle East,” he said. “Our strategy is to open new, high potential routes in diverse aviation regions, especially in the Middle East, which are perfect for our A330s. Besides offering new experiences for Thais, we are confident these routes will attract significant numbers of international tourists to Thailand during the year-end season,” he said.
