Seaplane shuttle to launch in Phuket
Destination Air Shuttle will inaugurate its seaplane shuttle service from Phuket to the southern tourist destinations of Phi Phi Island, Krabi and Koh Lanta next month.
CEO Nithit Kesangam said yesterday that the service would start with 12 flights per day and add more to the Similan and Racha islands as well as Khao Lak. The company invested Bt100 million in the operation after seeing more and more international tourists choosing to vacation on the Andaman Coast. Riding the Destination Air Shuttle will help passengers cut travelling time from half a day to less than 13 minutes from Phuket International Airport to Koh Phi Phi, 20 minutes to Krabi and 30 minutes to Koh Lanta. They will also save transfer time by landing directly at the beachfront resorts. As the only seaplane shuttle service in the country, guests can expect service reliability by reserving their flights through travel agents or directly through the Destination Air Shuttle website destinationair.com. Destination Air's fleet consists of Cessna 208 and 206 aircraft, which are rated as the safest in the world.
