In
celebration of this new service, AirAsia is offering 10 000 seats at Baht 679 / MOP
149 one way. These special launch fares exclude airport taxes and fees, and are good for travel from 5th July 2004 to
30th October 2004. To enjoy the special launch fares, seats must be purchased
from 10th June to 5th July 2004. It is important to know that the special launch
fares may not be available on all flights, and guests should book early to avoid
disappointment.
Once confirmed, bookings for these promotional fares cannot be changed,
transferred or rebooked to another date, and payments made are not refundable in
the case of cancellation.
As soon as the special launch fares are sold out, AirAsia’s regular fares for
Bangkok – Macau will start from Baht 1000 / MOP 219 one way.
Tony
Fernandes, Group Chief Executive Officer, AirAsia said “We are absolutely thrilled to connect Macau and its neighboring region to
Bangkok, one of the busiest capital cities in Asia. Macau will be AirAsia’s 6th
international destination from Bangkok. Primed as a tourists’ attraction
centre, Macau is unique as it is positioned as the gateway to Hong Kong and Greater
China.
We have been through a significant growth in the 2 ½ years that we were in
operations. Despite the challenges, we have been consistently maintaining our
low fares, and consistently growing the market. As such, we are confident that our
low fare will have a significant role in promoting trade and encouraging
tourism between the countries.” |
