Thai Seaplane to Launch Phuket-Krabi Routes by Late 2026

One source

Thai Seaplane has announced plans to commence operations by the end of 2026, starting with routes connecting Phuket and Krabi to boost water-based tourism.

According to a report by Thai Post, the company 'Thai Seaplane' is preparing to launch its aviation services in Thailand by the end of 2026. The initiative aims to capitalize on the upcoming tourism season by introducing seaplane travel, a mode of transport intended to enhance connectivity and stimulate the water-based tourism sector.

The initial phase of the operation will focus on establishing routes between the popular coastal provinces of Phuket and Krabi. For travelers and residents, this development represents a potential shift in regional mobility, offering a faster and more scenic alternative to traditional land-based travel between these two major tourist hubs.

While the company has set a target for a late 2026 launch, several details remain to be confirmed. Prospective passengers should note that specific flight schedules, pricing structures, and the full scope of the operational network have not yet been finalized. Furthermore, the company will need to navigate the necessary regulatory approvals and safety certifications required for commercial seaplane operations in Thailand before services can officially commence. As the launch date approaches, further announcements regarding booking availability and specific service routes are expected.
