AirAsia Thailand Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, acknowledged that while the #FlyRuaRuaPass travel passes for Thailand was very well received when it was introduced in March this year, the COVID-19 situation and subsequent public health and travel measures impacted travel sentiments and necessitated AirAsia Thailand to reduce its flights to help curb the spread.

“We have been continuously keeping an eye on the situation and evaluating the developments regularly. We are doing our best to lessen any impact on our customers, including the #FlyRuaRuaPass holders, hence our decision to extend the pass’ validity by another 3 months until March 2022. This should help alleviate some concerns and allow everyone to focus on taking care of themselves at this time. Once the situation improves, we look forward to welcoming pass holders onboard AirAsia flights again and fly with is in full confidence” Mr. Santisuk said.

The #FlyRuaRuaPass travel passes Thailand can be used to book flights at airasia.com/deals and the airasia Super App 14 days prior to travel. Bookings can be made 19 July 2021 – 12 March 2022 for travel from 2 August 2021 – 26 March 2022. Pass holders who missed more than 2 flights will have their pass and other bookings cancelled. The pass is valid for all flights and 20% of every flight has been reserved for pass holders (based on a 180 seat Airbus A320), making over 6,000 seats available daily, including during holidays and long weekends.
