Thai AirAsia marked the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Thailand with brand new aircraft livery.
This initiative entailed the airlineโs collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Embassy of the Peopleโs Republic of China in Thailand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
The celebratory livery, proudly painted on Thai AirAsiaโs Airbus A320 aircraft HS-BBR, will serve routes across Asia, showcasing AirAsiaโs commitment to strengthening regional connectivity.ย
As the airline with the most direct routes between Thailand and China, covering ten cities across ten routes, AirAsia continues to lead the way in bringing people together.
Thai AirAsia chief executive Santisuk Klongchaiya remarked: โThailand and China share a long-standing relationship across many dimensions, especially in tourism, where both countries are top destinations for each otherโs travellers. With mutual visa exemptions now in place, travel between the two nations has become even more seamless. China remains one of AirAsiaโs key markets, and we are proud to serve a wide network of routes covering both major and secondary cities.โ
Aside from the external livery, the aircraft will also feature themed in-flight materials to mark the occasion.
A second aircraft is also being embellished with the livery and will make its debut next month.
Interweaving cultures in design
The vibrant design features the official emblem of the 50th anniversary, symbolised by two legendary creatures: Chinaโs dragon and Thailandโs naga:
Both of these mythical entities represent strength, prosperity, and enduring friendship.ย
A warm greeting in both Thai and Chinese, เธชเธงเธฑเธชเธเธต - ไฝ ๅฅฝ, adorns the fuselage, making the aircraft a flying ambassador of goodwill across domestic and international skies.
To mark the launch of the new livery, Thai AirAsia offers travellers special one-way fares starting from just THB 500.ย
The promotional fares can be booked from today, 9th July, to Sunday, 13th July, for travel between 28th July and 30th November of this year.
Bookings may be made through the official AirAsia website or through the AirAsia MOVE app.
