Thai AirAsia (TAA) is to introduce a second daily flight from Bangkok to Mandalay to meet stronger demand. The additional service will commence on March 17, expanding the low-cost carrier's (LCC) footprint in the emerging travel market. The additional Mandalay flight kicks off TAA's 2017 intention to strengthen its network in the CLMV subregion: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. TAA's new route, FD 246, leaves Bangkok for Mandalay at 3.35pm and arrives at 4.55pm, with the return flight FD 247 departing Mandalay at 5.30pm and touching down in Bangkok at 7.50pm.
