Thai AirAsia (Flight Code: FD) and Thai AirAsia X (Flight Code: XJ) are gearing up to resume temporarily suspended international routes and increase flight frequencies across multiple destinations. This strategic expansion aims to accommodate the surging travel demand during the year-end high season in the fourth quarter (October to December), offering direct flights to up to 46 cities across 53 routes covering ASEAN and the broader Asian region.

For the fourth quarter, Thai AirAsia X is fully prepared to maximize its services, with a strong focus on direct flights from Don Mueang International Airport to Japan, covering four major routes: Tokyo: Up to 21 flights per week. Osaka: Up to 14 flights per week. Sapporo: Up to 4 flights per week (starting October 1), increasing to a maximum of 7 flights per week on December 1, 2026 and Nagoya: 4 flights per week (starting October 2). Furthermore, Thai AirAsia X will operate direct flights to New Delhi, India, at 4 flights per week, and to the highly popular destination of Almaty, Kazakhstan, also at 4 flights per week.

Combined, the two AirAsia affiliate carriers will operate a total of 53 direct routes to 46 cities from Don Mueang International Airport during the 2026 Winter Flight Schedule. This expansive network covers 17 cities in East Asia (including China, Japan, Taiwan, and Macau), 15 cities in ASEAN (including Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Laos), 13 cities in South Asia (including India, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives), and one city in Central Asia (Kazakhstan).
