KOTA BHARU: Firefly announced today its service into Bangkok is now
open for sale via all its channels - website, mobile, call-centre and
Firefly airport and city ticketing offices.
The airline will begin its operations between Kota Bharu and Bangkok,
from Sultan Ismail Petra Airport to Don Mueang International Airport on
24 January 2014, 4x weekly.
Firefly's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ignatius Ong said, "Firefly
operates out of Penang and Subang, connecting secondary destinations
within the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle as well as
providing air linkages between Malaysia and Singapore. Services into
this new route is an indication that Firefly is marking a significant
growth and concurrently offering wider travelling options for business
and leisure to and from Thailand. With connections to cities such as Koh
Samui, Phuket and now Bangkok, Firefly will market this sector and
simultaneously promote the attractions that these cities have got to
offer."
"Passengers will find our flight times ideal
for both business and leisure travelers alike. The flight departs Kota
Bharu at 9.20 am and arrives in Bangkok at 10.50 am, providing
passengers plenty of time at their destination. Similarly flights out of
Bangkok arrive in Kota Bharu at 14.50pm. Besides domestic travelers,
we're also targeting Bangkok travelers keen on visiting Kota Bharu and
other parts of Northern Peninsular Malaysia," he said.
Attractions in Kota Bharu include the bustling wet market Pasar Besar
Siti Khadiah, Cultural Centre, Royal Museum, State Museum, State Mosque
and Istana Jahar featuring Kelantan's rich cultural legacy. Kelantanese
are gifted craftsmen with many cottage industries around the state
producing silverware, textiles, kites and brass work. Similarly but
conversely, Bangkok offers visitors the opportunity to experience
Thailand's gentle culture amidst the bustle of the dynamic metropolis.
Chatuchak Weekend Market, Phra Sumeru Fortress, Wat Pho (Temple of the
Reclining Buddha), Wat Phra Keao (The Temple of the Emerald Buddha) and
The Grand Palace, are some of the must-see attractions in Bangkok.
To further promote this route and others on Firefly's network, the
airline is currently running an online promotion "Check Us Out", for
