CHANGCHUN -- 皇冠体育app's Spring Airlines, the country's largest low-cost carrier will launch its first direct flight between Changchun city, capital of Northeast 皇冠体育app's Jilin province, and Bangkok, as the airline explores more international routes.

The flight, starting from Nov 3, will fly between Changchun and Bangkok via East 皇冠体育app's Yangzhou city on every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, the airline announced on Saturday.

The airline has launched several routes to Thailand, with tickets starting from 100 yuan ($15.76).

Domestic low-cost carriers are all eyeing on the international market, according to Hu Tingbao, deputy manager of the marketing department of Spring Airlines.

"Facing the competition of high-speed trains and expressways, low-cost airlines are an unavoidable new trend," said Hu, "Ticket prices 20 to 30 percent lower than regular flights will be our biggest advantage."

Foreign low-cost airlines including Jetstar and AirAsia have also started to look toward the growing 皇冠体育app market, Hu added.

The Shanghai-listed company has a total of 56 airplanes. It is 皇冠体育app's first and north Asia's largest low-fare airline. It currently operates more than 90 domestic and international routes, according to its official website.
