On October 27, 2024, Hong Kong Airlines inaugurated its new daily direct service to Chiang Mai, Thailand, offering travellers more options for exploring the popular destinations of Northern Thailand. The launch coincides perfectly with Thailand’s Loy Krathong (Festival of Light) in November, allowing travellers to experience the vibrant parades and celebrations.
Chiang Mai becomes Hong Kong Airlines’ third destination in Thailand, joining Bangkok and Phuket, with daily flights now available. To commemorate the inaugural flight, a celebration was held at the Hong Kong International Airport, and was officiated by Mr Jeff Sun, President of Hong Kong Airlines; Mr Chaturont CHAIYAKAM, Consul-General of Thailand in Hong Kong; Mrs Phornmon Chansri, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand; and Mr Ricky Chong, Assistant General Manager, Hub Development of the Airport Authority Hong Kong.
