AirAsia has resumed its service between Kuala Lumpur and Pattaya, Thailand, enhancing travel options for beach enthusiasts and adventure seekers. The inaugural flight, almost fully booked, took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Terminal 2) at 11:20 AM and landed in Pattaya’s U-Tapao–Rayong–Pattaya International Airport at 12:05 PM local time.

Passengers on flight AK840 were greeted with a celebratory water cannon salute upon arrival. The warm welcome was further extended by AirAsia staff and representatives from the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

This reinstated route to Pattaya is AirAsia’s ninth direct connection to Thailand, adding to its flights from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, and Penang to destinations such as Bangkok (Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi), Krabi, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Hatyai. Pattaya, known for its stunning beaches, water sports, and vibrant entertainment scene, is expected to attract a significant number of tourists with this convenient travel option.

The resumption of this route is anticipated to boost tourism in Pattaya, offering travelers easier access to its many attractions. Additionally, it strengthens AirAsia's presence in the region, providing more options for passengers seeking direct flights to popular Thai destinations.

As the travel industry continues to recover, AirAsia’s strategic expansion of its route network highlights its commitment to reconnecting major cities and promoting tourism. The airline's move is likely to encourage a surge in visitors to Pattaya, contributing positively to the local economy and tourism sector.
