IndiGo expansion of India-Thailand flight routes

Overview

IndiGo is expanding its international connectivity between India and Thailand through the launch of new direct flight routes.

In late August, it was announced that non-stop, bi-weekly flights between Gaya, Bihar, and Bangkok would commence on October 26. This service is intended to leverage shared Buddhist heritage to promote regional tourism and economic development.

Direct services between Bhubaneswar and Bangkok have now resumed following a nearly two-month suspension. Initially operating twice weekly, the service includes flight 1065, with departures from Bhubaneswar scheduled for Friday and Monday nights.

Starting October 25, the route will transition to a winter schedule, moving operations from nighttime to daytime. Under this revised schedule, flights are expected to arrive in Bhubaneswar around 11:00 am and depart for Bangkok at approximately 1:35 pm. The resumption of this route aims to support business, tourism, and educational travel in Odisha. Following this resumption, authorities are exploring further expansions of Bhubaneswar’s international network, including potential direct flights to Dubai and Singapore.
