KHON KAEN - Tourism operators and event organisers have asked Ezy Airlines to introduce flights between this northeastern province and two major resort cities, to solidify Khon Kaen's position as a travel and convention hub.
Nattiya Tantasook, president of the Khon Kaen Tourism and Mice Association, said on Monday business groups in the province had held talks with Dhanee Dharapak, chief executive of Ezy Airlines owner M-Landarch, on the airline flying between Khon Kaen and Hua Hin and Khon Kaen and U-tapao airport, which serves Pattaya.
Ms Nattiya said the proposed routes would bring foreign and domestic visitors from the two resort destinations to Khon Kaen, which is looking to bolster its position as a regional centre for education, tourism, investment and other forums.
Business groups strongly support the proposal, she said.
Ezy Airlines is based at Hat Yai Airport and uses small aircraft to connect the southern city with Betong district in Yala and to Surat Thani.
