The Melbourne and Sydney services were operated by A330-300 HS-XTE and HS-XTH, respectively. TAAX has scheduled four flights a week from Suvarnabhumi to Sydney and three weekly to Melbourne. TAAX CEO, Tassapon Bijleveld, said Australians' love of Thailand and travelling augured well for the LCC's routes into the country. “Visitors to Bangkok can experience dynamic shopping, rich art, culture and its renowned cuisine and nightlife at great value on our comfortable and affordable wide-body aircraft,” Tassapon said. “At the same time, Thailand is a regional hub where AirAsia offers flights to destinations Australians love to visit, notably Chiang Mai, Phuket and Krabi, and more than 100 other points across Asia.”
