This will be IndiGo’s second direct flight to Phuket, following Delhi
IndiGo announces daily direct flights between Kolkata-Phuket, starting December 27, 2024. This will be IndiGo’s second direct flight to Phuket, following Delhi. The new route will expand IndiGo’s global network and cater to the growing number of tourists from India to Thailand.
The addition of this new route is expected to enhance accessibility for tourists to Phuket from the eastern part of the country. The route is also expected to strengthen trade, commerce and tourism between India and Southeast Asia. This is also evident in the development of the Kolkata-Bangkok Highway, also known as the Trilateral Highway, an ambitious project aimed at connecting India, Myanmar, and Thailand.
Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo, said, “We are pleased to further expand our network into Thailand, from Kolkata, now adding a daily flight to Phuket in addition to the existing 11 weekly flights to Bangkok. With this new route, IndiGo will now operate 93 weekly flights between India and Thailand. Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is known for its serene beaches and cultural diversity, and the country’s visa-free policy for Indian citizens is expected to drive even greater demand. IndiGo remains committed to providing an affordable, on-time, courteous, and hassle-free travel experience across our extensive network.”
