Thai AirAsia X announced (07-Feb-2019) plans to commence four times weekly Bangkok Don Mueang-Brisbane service on 25-Jun-2019. Brisbane will be the airline's first destination in Australia and the service is expected to bring 25,000 visitors p/a to Brisbane. Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) CEO Gert-Jan de Graaff said Thailand is one of Brisbane Airport's largest underserved markets. Queensland's Minister of Tourism Industry Development Kate Jones said: "This is a great opportunity to attract visitors from other destinations across Asia, with potential to improve access to Queensland for Indian and Chinese tourists connecting via... Bangkok". BAC secured the service with the support of Queensland's Government under the Attracting Aviation Investment Fund, in partnership with Tourism and Events Queensland and Brisbane Marketing.
