BANGKOK, 7 March 2024: Thai Airways International (THAI) strengthens its route network in response to the rising travel demand by introducing new services to Perth in Australia, Colombo in Sri Lanka and Kochi in India.
Daily flights to Perth and Colombo will start on 31 March, and three weekly flights to Kochi will begin on 2 April.
THAI’s chief commercial officer, Korakot Chatasingha, confirmed earlier this week that THAI was launching flights to three Asian Pacific destinations.
Daily flights will return to Perth, Australia, on 31 March after a three-year pause. The Western Australia capital will become the airline’s third destination in Australia, after Sydney and Melbourne.
Daily flights will also return to Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, following almost a three-year pause caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the airline’s financial plight.
THAI will also introduce three weekly flights from Bangkok to Kochi. This new destination will give the airline flights to nine cities in India: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Gaya, and Kochi.
