The low-cost carrier Nok Air has been given the “okay” to run round-trip home flights from the Isaan province Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Korat, to the popular vacationer locations Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Hat Yai. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand is allowing the airline to offer seven flights per week to each vacation spot beginning within the second quarter of this year. The airline will use the 86-seater Bombardier Q400 turboprop for the flights.
A low number of passengers travelling to and from the Isaan province led several airways, including Thai AirAsia and different small native airways, to cancel companies at the Nakhon Ratchasima airport.
Nok Air submitted an utility to CAAT final November, requesting to supply extra domestic flights from the airport. Free approved the request final month and the airline has introduced it’ll provide flights to well-liked destinations Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Hat Yai.
During the Vietnam War, from 1962 until 1976, the Nakhon Ratchasima airport functioned as the Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base with air force items from Thailand, New Zealand, and the US stationed there..
