AOTGA welcomes Cebu Pacific to Don Mueang International Airport, ready to provide service on Manila - Bangkok route.

On July 16, 2024, AOT Ground Aviation Services Company Limited (AOTGA) welcomed the inaugural flight of Cebu Pacific Airlines at Don Mueang International Airport. The flight was attended by Wg.Cdr. Thanvee Srinual, Vice President - Don Mueang International Airport, Mr. Wiwittawin Inchomphu, Operations Director - Don Mueang International Airport, Mr. Niwat Thanintrawat, Commercial Director, Ms. Suphara Sanguanchokchai, Corporate Communications Director, and the AOTGA team, along with Mr. Phatraphon Laohasurayotin, Administrative Officer (05), and the team from Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT). The flight was also welcomed by Ms. Maria Leonora Apostol, Vice President, Customer Service Operations Department, and Mr. Mark Adrian Abiog, Regional Station Manager - International Ground Operations, and representatives of Cebu Pacific Airlines. A water salute was arranged to welcome the inaugural flight. The flight was operated from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NNG) to Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) with flight code 5J 863, operated by an Airbus A320 Neo, an environmentally friendly aircraft that saves energy, reduces carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, and reduces noise pollution. It landed at 10:00 p.m. before flying again at 11:00 p.m.

Cebu Pacific Airlines has chosen AOTGA's ground handling services, which meet its needs and meet the airline's service standards, after a meeting to discuss AOTGA's service plans that are in line with Cebu Pacific's flight plans at AOTGA Headquarters on May 9, 2024. AOTGA is very pleased that Cebu Pacific has placed their trust in and chosen AOTGA's services at Don Mueang International Airport.

* "Water Salute" is an international tradition in the aviation industry used to show appreciation, honor or welcome important flights such as inaugural flights. It involves spraying water from fire trucks on both sides of the aircraft parking bay entrance, creating a water tunnel. The water will be sprayed while the aircraft has landed at the airport and is moving into the aircraft parking bay of that flight.
