BANGKOK, 23 October 2023: THAI Airways International will operate flights to 51 cities worldwide during the winter timetable from 29 October 2023 to 30 March 2024, a significant boost in serving international destinations — eight in Europe, eight in India and six in China.
In addition to reinstating destinations post-Covid pandemic and increasing flights to meet growing travel demand, THAI has taken over all of Thai Smile’s regional routes to phase out the low-cost subsidiary’s operations by early 2024.
THAI introduces a new daily service to Istanbul, Türkiye, effective 1 December. It also includes new endeavours such as flights to Gaya, the gateway to Bodh Gaya, a revered site (Mahabodhi Temple Complex), the signature destination of seasonal Buddhist heritage tours of India and Nepal. The take-over of Thai Smile routes will see THAI flying to Siem Reap (home of the Angkor Wat Historical Park) for the first time starting 1 December, landing at the new airport Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI),
