Air India Express Launches New Visakhapatnam to Bangkok Route
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has officially welcomed the inaugural Air India Express flight connecting Visakhapatnam to Bangkok, marking a new step in regional connectivity.
On October 28, 2026, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) announced the arrival of the first Air India Express flight operating between Visakhapatnam, India, and Bangkok. This new service is scheduled to run twice weekly, aiming to bolster travel links between Thailand and the eastern regions of India.
For travellers and residents, this development represents an easier access point for visitors from India’s regional markets. The TAT has indicated that this route aligns with their broader strategy to attract high-value tourism segments, specifically targeting families, wedding parties, and wellness-focused travellers. By facilitating direct travel from Visakhapatnam, the authority hopes to encourage longer stays and promote exploration of destinations beyond Thailand’s traditional tourism hubs.
While the flight service is now operational, details regarding potential seasonal schedule adjustments or future frequency increases remain to be confirmed by the airline. The TAT continues to focus its promotional efforts on expanding reach within India to sustain this growth in connectivity. Travellers interested in booking these flights are advised to check the official Air India Express website or consult with travel agents for the most current flight schedules and availability.
