Thai AirAsia Launches Direct Bangkok-Kolkata Flights from Only 1,890 baht
25th Oct 2016
Low-cost carrier Thai AirAsia has expanded its network in India and is now offering its customers direct flights between Bangkok and Kolkata. The LCC will serve the route seven times a week and this is also its first journey into east India.
In preparation for the inaugural flight on 16th December, Thai AirAsia has announced a promotional ticket sale starting at 1,890 baht all-in. Booking period started on 20th October and will last until 2nd November, 2016 while tickets can be used for travel between 16th December, 2016 and 28th October, 2017. Tickets are inclusive of airport taxes and fees.
Flights, using number FD0120 will depart every day from Monday to Sunday from Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport at 0:05 a.m. and will arrive in Kolkata at 1:10 am. The return flight (FD0121) will take off from Kolkata at 2:10 a.m., also Mondays through Sundays, and will arrive in Bangkok at 6:40 am on the same day. Note that Thailand’s local time is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of Indian.
Thai AirAsia’s Indian customers will be able to take advantage of the Fly Thru service when traveling beyond Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok to more than 35 destinations in Thailand, including Phuket, Surat Thani, Hat Yai and Krabi, as well as to other countries or cities, including Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
Thai AirAsia Believes the Route will be Accepted Quickly
TAA expects the new route to kick off quickly, considering the airline was well received in India in the past. In addition, the new route should also help current Indian routes activate high demand. According to Thai AirAsia, Bangkok-Kochi was well received since its launch in May, while Bangkok-Bengaluru and Bangkok Chennai maintained an average load factor between them of 83% in this year.
Thai AirAsia already operates four routes from Thailand to India. Three of those go south to cities of Bengaluru, Chennai and Kochi and one, while Kolkata is the first eastern Indian city that TAA will serve.
At the present, Thai AirAsia serves Bangkok-Bengaluru and Bangkok-Chennai 5 times per week each, while the carrier flies daily (7 times per week) between Bangkok and Kochi.
