AirAsia and AirAsia X are resuming previously suspended international routes and increasing flight frequency ahead of Q4 high season. The combined carriers will operate 53 routes to 46 cities from Don Mueang, including expanded service to India (6 routes restarting), Japan (4 routes including increased Sapporo and new Nagoya flights), Malaysia, Cambodia, and Central Asia. This reflects airline confidence in returning travel demand from both Thai tourists and foreign visitors after cost-cutting measures during Q3 due to high fuel prices.
