The first direct flight by Taiwan‘s Tigerair made its way to Phuket yesterday. The flight arrived at Phuket International Airport, carrying 190 passengers.
Airport officials and staff welcomed the passengers upon their arrival, The Phuket Express reported.
Last month, it was reported that Tigerair, a subsidiary of China Airlines, will be the only airline currently servicing the Taipei – Phuket route directly, twice per week.
Phuket will become the airline’s second destination in Thailand. Tigerair currently serves direct flights between Taoyuan and Don Mueang Airport (DMX) in Bangkok.
Flights will depart from Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 12.20pm.
