Firefly Airlines Institutes New Flights to Krabi, Thailand

Firefly, Malaysia’s premium short-haul airliner, recently announced a brand new destination – Krabi, Thailand. To celebrate their new service, the airline is holding an inauguration ceremony at Krabi International Airport’s Arrival Hall at 8:15 a.m., September 11, 2014.

Firefly’s fleet consists of twelve ATR 72-500 and two ATR 72-600 turbo props out of Penang and Subang. Secondary destinations connect through the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) and between Singapore and Malaysia. (The IMT-GT, formed in 1993 by the governments of these three nations, is a cooperative initiative created to help promote economic growth in their less developed provinces.)

Firefly will permit a 20-kilogram check-in baggage allowance for passengers on these flights, and will provide complimentary in-flight refreshments and assigned seating.

Ton Loriers, Managing Director of Krabi Riviera Villa Company, and Ton Company, Ltd., a holiday villa construction, property management, and rental company in Krabi, noted that the increased passenger flights reflects the growing popularity of Krabi as a tourism destination.

Ton stated, “This is wonderful news for Krabi and its tourism industry. It will not only provide additional flights to Krabi for tourists to choose from, but it will also benefit local business owners dependent upon the tourists.”
Other airlines providing direct round-trip flights to Krabi from various locations include Tiger Airways, Air Asia, Malaysia Airways, and Bangkok Airways.
Finnair, based in Helsinki, Finland, recently announced they would schedule flights to Krabi beginning December 10, 2014.
