Recently opened upscale resort InterContinental Hua Hin has launched private air service between international gateway Bangkok and the property.

Flights can be arranged from either of Suvarnabhumi or Don Muang Airport utilizing a 8 seat Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft.

The journey is a short 35 minute trip and limousine pick up awaits arriving guests.

As Hua Hin continues to shift into greater overseas visitor numbers, decreasing the door to door travel time looks to be a wise marketing strategy.

Resorts in Phang Nga Bay, Krabi and Koh Lanta continue to look for solutions in speeding up access after the demise of Destination Air seaplane service.

Hi I'm an experienced sea plane pilot used to dealing with the public and working and administering a charter op. Just give me a call when you've bought the plane! Relocation cost and reasonable salary required.

Thanks for the news update. Phuket region is without question in need of a committed professional aviation air charter operation, seaplane, helicopter, or simple scenic flights. The high level of past and current demand has a ready made market already in place.
