BANGKOK, 3 July 2026: Thai Airways International launched its inaugural flight to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 1 July 2026, resuming services that were terminated in 1998.
THAI Chief Executive Officer, Chai Eamsiri and THAI Chief Commercial Officer, Kittiphong Sansomboonat, welcomed VIPs and guests at a ceremony held at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, blends centuries of rich history with modern urban living reflected in iconic landmarks, such as the Rijksmuseum, home to more than 8,000 works of art and historical artifacts; the Dancing Houses, a row of distinctive 17th-century Dutch canal houses renowned for their charming leaning structures; Dam Square, the location of the Royal Palace Amsterdam; and the Canal Ring, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Beyond its cultural attractions, Amsterdam serves as one of Western Europe’s key transportation and commercial gateways. Its strategic location enables convenient rail connections to neighbouring countries such as Belgium and Germany, while its international airport provides extensive access to destinations across Europe. Amsterdam also has one of the Netherlands’ major seaports, playing a vital role in international trade and industrial logistics.
Effective 1 July, THAI operates daily nonstop flights between Bangkok and Amsterdam, using an Airbus A350-900 configured with 327 seats in three classes – business, premium economy and economy.
