Thai Air Asia was established by the Shin Corporation on December the 8th, 2003, in partnership with the larger Malaysian-owned low-budget airline, Air Asia. The goal of Air Asia is to offer low fare no frills flights that are cheap enough to allow everyone to fly. Air Asia has 9 twin-engined Boeing 737-300 aircraft, 6 of the larger long-haul twin-engined Airbus A330-300 aircraft, 70 of the newer twin-engined Airbus A320-200 aircraft, and 2 of the very large long-haul four-engined Airbus A340-300 aircraft.
