APG is a small airline operating on short destinations in Thailand, where the other companies generally cannot insure flights. Indeed, its fleet consists of small aircraft «Cessna 208 B», a maximum of 12 seats. They fly over the territory at an altitude low enough to enjoy a splendid panoramic view. Since Bangkok, APG has been the only airline providing Hua Hin flights. From Chiang Mai it is possible to reach Pai, Mae Hong Son and Chiang Rai. APG also has a privileged agreement with low cost Nokair company allowing you to benefit from preferential rates over long distances and easily reach small destinations with their aircraft by providing short connections.
