Krabi to get direct HK flights

The southern Thailand province of Krabi will be getting its first direct flights from Hong Kong starting on November 13.

Hong Kong Airlines will be launching the daily flight using an all-economy class Airbus A320 aircraft. It will be the only carrier providing a direct link between Hong Kong and Krabi.

Li Dianchun, Commercial Director of Hong Kong Airlines, said: “Hong Kong Airlines attaches great importance to its Thailand market. We are delighted to further expand our Thailand network to Krabi, which is the perfect paradise for vacation.

“Starting this route allows us to offer a convenient, direct service for visitors from Hong Kong to fully enjoy the gorgeous beaches and sunshine in Krabi.”

With the launch of Krabi service, complemented by the existing six daily flights to Bangkok, Hong Kong Airlines will operate a total of 49 weekly frequent flights between Hong Kong and Thailand from November.

Krabi agents and property developers should be excited by this news, and be prepared for a steady wave of interested Chinese property investors.
