The airline will fly the route daily using an A320, competing with Bangkok Airways, which operates flights from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to Lampang.

Thai AirAsia CEO Santisuk Klongchaiya pointed out: “The demand for domestic routes has continued to rise, and AirAsia is matching the growth by continuing to connect the dots across Thailand. In the first half of 2024, the load factor average for domestic flights at Thai AirAsia was 90%, thanks to both domestic travellers and international visitors who make AirAsia their preferred mode of transportation to explore the Kingdom using the AirAsia network.
“I am confident this new route will be as popular as other destinations due to its charm and many attractions. With the Lampang Airport expansion now completed, we look forward to being of service to guests from both cities starting 1 October.”
Lampang is Thai AirAsia’s 25th domestic destination. The carrier now holds the largest market share for domestic passenger traffic. The carrier offers 34 domestic routes and 612 flights a week, connecting all the country’s regions.
The province of Lampang is known for its ancient temples, including Wat Phra That Lampang Luang (the temple for people born in the year of the ox), Wat Phra Phutthabat Sutthawat (home to a foot impression of the Lord Buddha and a majestic pagoda) and Wat Prathat Doi Prachan (the mountaintop temple). Chae Son National Park attracts nature tourists, while Ban Pa Miang welcomes cultural travellers. Visitors can also ride through Lampang town in a horse buggy, shop at Kad Kong Ta Market and find original and now trendy rooster bowls at the Dhanabadee Ceramic Museum.
