Adjust font size:

Dragonair has announced it will resume its normal scheduled services to Phuket in Thailand on September 1. Flights to and from the island were unable to operate earlier due to the closure of Phuket International Airport.

Flight KA212 is scheduled to depart at 14:35 on September 1. An additional flight, KA212D, will be operated by a larger A330-300 aircraft to help clear up the backlog of passengers in Phuket resulting from the closure of the airport. Details of flights to and from Phuket on September 1 are as follows:

Flight No. Route Estimated departure time (local time)

KA212D* Hong Kong to Phuket 10:30
KA212 Hong Kong to Phuket 14:35
KA213D* Phuket to Hong Kong 14:00
KA213 Phuket to Hong Kong 18:05

* Additional flight

Phuket International Airport reopened on August 31 at 14:00 local time (15:00 Hong Kong time). Dragonair promptly made the necessary arrangements to get its services to the island operating again, with August 31's KA212 flight from Hong Kong to Phuket rescheduled to depart at 18:30.

The airline has also been working hard to offer assistance to passengers and is resuming its services to Phuket as soon as operationally possible to minimise any inconvenience. Passengers traveling to Phuket can check the Dragonair website, www.dragonair.com, for information and assistance.

Dragonair recognises the inconvenience caused to passengers and appreciates their understanding of the situation.
