Airlines eye renewed free flight initiative
Airlines and tourism operators in Thailand would like the government to prepare stimulus measures for the upcoming low season. CHANAT KATANYU
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is scheduled to meet tourism operators next week to prepare stimulus measures, while the Airlines Association of Thailand (AAT) urged the government to resume the paused scheme of free domestic flights for foreign tourists.
Artthakorn Sirilatthayakorn, the tourism and sports minister, said the ministry is listening to proposals from tourism and airline operators.
The ministry and private sector are scheduled to meet with Mr Anutin next week to share their concerns and solutions to stimulate the tourism industry, particularly during the next low season in 2026.
Mr Artthakorn said the AAT previously urged him to nudge traffic towards second-tier cities, which they could support by offering discounted tickets.
