BANGKOK, 25 November 2024: Thai Airways resumes flights from Bangkok to Brussels on 1 December, ending a four-year pause.
The airline suspended services in 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was the only airline providing direct flight between the EU de factor capital and Bangkok, Thailand.
THAI first announced the decision to resume flights to Brussels in its winter timetable for November 2024 to April 2025, released last October. The airline’s communications team has not issued a press update on the service, except for a Facebook post promoting the economy and business fares without providing timetable details.
However, third-party online timetable information confirms that the airline will deploy a Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 with 256 seats on the route and schedule daily flights.
Flight schedule
TG934 will depart Bangkok (BKK) at 0330 and arrive in Brussels (BRU) at 0705 (flight time: 12 hours and 35 minutes)
TG935 will depart Brussels at 1310 and arrive in Bangkok at 0610 (plus a day)
Brussels holds significant importance as the de facto capital of the European Union. It houses many key EU institutions, including the European Commission, the European Council, and the European Parliament. This central role makes Brussels a hub for international diplomacy, politics, and business.
Brussels Airport’s catchment area primarily encompasses Belgium, with a significant portion of the Netherlands and northeastern France also falling within its reach.
The city’s strategic location in the heart of Western Europe allows the airport to serve a diverse population of approximately 20 million people within a 90-minute drive.
In 2019, when THAI was flying directly between Bangkok and Brussels, Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports reported that 114,016 Belgians visited Thailand. In 2024, visits from Belgium could reach 100,000.
The average roundtrip fare in December is estimated at USD948. A search of Skyscanner for flights in December showed THAI quoting a USD1367 roundtrip economy fare.
