Kuwait Airways Launches Direct Flights to Phuket
Kuwait Airways has inaugurated a new direct flight route connecting Kuwait to Phuket, offering twice-weekly services to boost regional tourism.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has officially welcomed the inaugural Kuwait Airways flight arriving in Phuket. This new service establishes a direct link between Kuwait and the popular southern Thai destination, operating on a twice-weekly schedule. According to the TAT, this expansion adds 556 inbound seats to the region every week.
This development is expected to support the tourism sectors in Phuket, Phang-nga, and Krabi by facilitating easier access for travelers, particularly those interested in family holidays and extended stays. With this addition, Kuwait Airways has increased its total Thailand network to eight weekly flights.
For travelers and residents, this route provides a more convenient connection to the Andaman coast. The TAT has indicated that the airline plans to introduce additional flight frequencies as the peak travel season approaches. While the current schedule is confirmed at twice-weekly, travelers should monitor official airline announcements for updates regarding the planned increase in service frequency. This expansion reflects ongoing efforts to diversify and grow international arrivals in southern Thailand.
