Air India Express Launches Direct Bengaluru–Phuket Flights
Bengaluru, June 1(TNT): Air India Express on Monday commenced direct flight services between Bengaluru and Phuket, further strengthening its international network and enhancing connectivity between India and Thailand.
The inaugural flight departed from Bengaluru, marking the launch of the new service that will provide travellers with convenient access to Phuket, one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations known for its pristine beaches, vibrant nightlife, bustling markets and rich cultural heritage.
The new route expands Air India Express’ footprint in Thailand and complements the Bengaluru–Bangkok service introduced by the airline in October last year.
Air India Express currently operates nearly 500 weekly flights from Bengaluru, offering direct connectivity to 31 domestic and eight international destinations.
The airline said the latest expansion is part of its ongoing strategy to strengthen international connectivity from key Indian metropolitan cities to high-demand leisure destinations across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Air India Express was recently recognised as ‘Airline of the Year’ in both the Domestic and International categories at Bengaluru Airport’s Pinnacle Awards.
The launch of the Bengaluru–Phuket service is expected to boost tourism and provide greater travel convenience for leisure and business travellers between India and Thailand.
