“Based on  strong  demand, Thai AirAsia (FD) will now be flying direct to Okinawa in Japan for the very first time, marking the second route to Japan flown by Thai AirAsia after we re-introduced flights post pandemic to Fukuoka in October 2022.”

Okinawa is a major island in the south of Japan known for its white sand beaches, stunning sea, massive aquarium and unique culture. Home to a variety of distinct tourist destinations, the island also boasts one-of-a-kind Okinawan cuisine, making it a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a new take on Japan.

“Our first direct flight to Japan’s Fukuoka, initially served four  times a week, was very well received and is now flying seven times a week. Looking for another opportunity to serve travellers, we chose to make Okinawa our second destination and look forward to it being a top choice among Thai and Japanese tourists alike,” Mr. Santisuk said.

Currently, Thai AirAsia (FD) operates two  direct routes to Japan, Bangkok (Don Mueang) – Fukuoka one time per day, and Bangkok (Don Mueang) – Okinawa four  times a week starting 2 April.
