Starting December 27, IndiGo will launch daily direct flights between Kolkata and Phuket. This expansion follows IndiGo's existing flight from Delhi and aims to enhance their network by meeting the growing travel demand from India to Thailand. The move also aims to support increased trade and tourism between the regions.

Starting December 27, low-cost carrier IndiGo will introduce daily direct flights between Kolkata and Phuket, further enhancing their international network, the airline announced on Friday.

This new Kolkata-Phuket route is IndiGo’s second direct flight to Phuket, in addition to the existing service from Delhi. The addition aims to serve the rising number of Indian tourists visiting Thailand, according to the airline's statement.

Vinay Malhotra, head of global sales at IndiGo, emphasized the expansion into Thailand from Kolkata, adding a daily flight to Phuket while maintaining 11 weekly flights to Bangkok. With the expansion, IndiGo's operations between India and Thailand will total 93 flights per week. The city's infrastructure is evolving to support this growing travel demand.
