History

Kan Air, owned by Kannithi Aviation Company Limited, started operations on 24 September 2010. It was founded by Captain Somphong Sooksanguan as president and Mrs Saychon Sibmong as CEO. The authorized capital is 200,000,000 Thai baht. The company provides domestic passenger service and freight services on both domestic and international routes.

On 8 July 2015, the airline was forced to suspend more than half of its network as civil aviation authorities get tough on airline operating licenses. The Kan Air suspension has since been lifted.

    Services

    Scheduled flights

    With its base in Chiang Mai, Kan Air operates daily and weekly scheduled service to destinations in northern, northeastern, and central Thailand.

    Charter flights

    With its base at Don Muang International Airport, Kan Air provides a more direct route to a desired location than a commercial flight. Chartering a private jet allows passengers to fly on their schedule, fly to smaller airfields closer to their final destination, and avoid the queues and chaos of major airport terminals.

    Medical evacuation service

    Kan Air has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Thailand Medical Emergency (สถาบันการแพทย์ฉุกเฉินแห่งชาติ สพฉ.) to transport critically ill patients.
