Bhuritt Maswongssa, Vice President of the Phuket Tourist Association, suggested that AirAsia should consider providing special promotions during major Phuket festivals and events, including the Vegetarian Festival, King’s Cup Regatta, Asian Beach Games, and Phuket Games.
He also asked they consider adding more flights from Phuket to Had Yai and Malaysia.
