Thai AirAsia X Expands India-Thailand Connectivity with More Flights

Thai AirAsia X plans to enhance connectivity between Bangkok and Delhi by introducing four weekly flights from January 15, 2025. This move follows increased bilateral flying rights between India and Thailand, allowing more seat capacity. The airline aims to capture 20% of onward travel demand from India.

Thai AirAsia X, a low-cost carrier, is expanding its reach in the Indian travel market by increasing the frequency of its Bangkok-Delhi flights. Starting January 15, 2025, the airline will offer four weekly flights to cater to growing demand.

Driving this strategic expansion is the enhanced bilateral Air Service Agreement between India and Thailand, which has significantly increased the number of seats available to airlines. This agreement allows up to 14,000 seats weekly, creating ample opportunities for growth in passenger traffic.

CEO Tassapon Bijleveld highlights additional factors spurring demand, such as visa-free entry for Indian citizens to Thailand and waived Thai tourist visa fees. Thai AirAsia X targets to capture substantial onward travel market from India through seamless connectivity across its network.
