AirAsia has introduced a new aircraft livery to mark 50 years of diplomatic relations between Thailand and China. The design appears on a Thai AirAsia Airbus A320 and was created in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Chinese Embassy in Thailand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
The livery features the official emblem of the anniversary, with a Chinese dragon and Thai naga symbolising strength and friendship. A greeting in both Thai and Chinese is displayed along the fuselage.
The aircraft will operate on routes across Asia, including AirAsia’s 10 direct routes between Thailand and China. These include flights to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Changsha, Wuhan, Kunming, Hangzhou, Xi’an, Chengdu, and Shanghai.
Santisuk Klongchaiya, CEO of Thai AirAsia, said: “Thailand and China share a long-standing relationship across many dimensions, especially in tourism, where both countries are top destinations for each other’s travellers. With mutual visa exemptions now in place, travel between the two nations has become even more seamless. China remains one of AirAsia’s key markets, and we are proud to serve a wide network of routes covering both major and secondary cities.”
