This year’s edition of the event in Chiang Mai will see the return of the Awards ceremony dedicated to recognising excellence in route development across Asia Pacific's airlines, airports and destinations.
The network additions will increase the number of destinations served in Japan to five as the East Asian country moves to loosen its stringent COVID-19 restrictions.
Twenty airports and destinations have been recognised by the airline network planning community for their outstanding marketing achievements over the past twelve months.
In the second of a two-part feature, Routesonline takes a closer look at the large airports and destinations shortlisted in two categories of the Routes Asia 2019 Marketing Awards.
The airline has confirmed it will add two further long-haul destinations to its network from spring 2016 with a three times weekly offering to Fukuoka in Japan and a four times weekly link to Guangzhou in China from its Helsinki Airport hub.
