The new route, with fares starting at ₹8,850 one-way, strengthens Bengaluru’s role as the airline’s largest hub and offers travellers greater convenience for both leisure and business trips to Thailand.

Air India Express is set to strengthen its international network with the launch of daily direct flights between Bengaluru and Bangkok, starting October 18, 2025. This new service will give passengers from Bengaluru and nearby regions convenient non-stop access to Thailand’s capital, one of the top destinations for both leisure and business travel.
Bangkok is one of Asia’s most popular cities, known for its lively nightlife, cultural landmarks, shopping, and food scene. With this new route, travelers can now fly directly from Bengaluru, India’s tech hub, to Bangkok without stopovers.
The flight schedule is as follows:
- Bengaluru → Bangkok: Departs 11:00 AM, Arrives 4:45 PM (Daily)
- Bangkok → Bengaluru: Departs 5:45 PM, Arrives 8:30 PM (Daily)
To celebrate the launch, Air India Express has announced special limited-time fares with round-trip fares start at INR 16,800, one-way fares from Bengaluru to Bangkok at INR 9,000 and one-way fares from Bangkok to Bengaluru at INR 8,850
Tickets are available on the airline’s website, mobile app, and all major booking platforms.
The new route is part of the airline’s ongoing expansion in Southeast Asia. Air India Express already connects Bangkok to Lucknow, Pune, and Surat, and also operates direct flights from Hyderabad to Phuket. With Bengaluru added to the list, travelers now have more options and flexibility when flying between India and Thailand.
At the domestic level too, Bengaluru is Air India Express’s largest hub, with over 440 weekly flights connecting the city to 30 domestic and 4 international destinations.
As part of its fleet modernization, Air India Express has introduced new services and comfort features with Xpress Biz, a Business-class style seating on short-haul flights and Xpress Ahead with priority check-in, boarding, and baggage handling.
With new routes, upgraded aircraft, and innovative passenger services, Air India Express is positioning itself as a strong player in India and Southeast Asia’s aviation market. The launch of the Bengaluru–Bangkok direct service is expected to boost tourism, business travel, and cultural ties between India and Thailand.
