Vientiane
Thai AirAsia (TAA) looks set to start serving Vientiane as the second city in Laos, which until recently was largely off-limits to low-cost carriers (LCCs), the Bangkok Post can report.
TAA will become the first no-frills airline to operate on the Bangkok-Vientiane route when it launches daily flights to the Laotian capital city in July.
The Vientiane start-up follows TAA’s successful entry to the old royal city, and former capital, of Luang Prabang.
The airline commenced a daily service from Bangkok on March 24, becoming the first LCC to serve the city.
Laos’ Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism estimated there were 4.3 million international tourist arrivals to the landlocked state last year, an increase of 4.88% from 4.1 million in 2014, generating US$670 million in revenue.
Thai nationals represented the majority of those arrivals, followed by Vietnamese and Chinese.
