On Friday, Air India, which is owned by Tata, said it will begin direct flights from Delhi to Phuket, Thailand, starting December 15.
The airline mentioned that adding this service to the island is part of its plan to grow in the Far East and Southeast Asia.
The airplane going from the main city to Phuket is called an A320neo. It has 162 seats, with 150 for regular passengers and 12 for business class.
The airline shared that it will begin with four flights every week, specifically on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Also, they plan to have flights every day starting from January 2024.
“We’re happy to include Phuket in our network. We will make more flights available for people to choose from, both within the country and to other countries.
This helps our customers have more options and supports the growth of the aviation industry.
That’s what Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial & Transformation Officer at Air India, shared.
Air India has 26 flights to Bangkok each week. There are daily nonstop flights from Delhi and Mumbai, and six flights a week from Kolkata.
