Thailand’s premium budget airline, Nok Air, has taken a major leap in expanding its international footprint by introducing nonstop daily flights between Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) and Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport (DMK). The service commenced on October 28, 2024, marking a significant addition to Nok Air’s growing network.
This new route is Nok Air’s second destination in India, following the successful launch of flights to Hyderabad in February 2023. The airline will operate its Mumbai-Bangkok route using the Boeing 737-800, a reliable aircraft with a seating capacity of 189 passengers. With a schedule featuring eight daily nonstop flights, Nok Air aims to offer both convenience and comfort to travellers.
Celebrating the Launch in Style
Ahead of the inaugural flight, Nok Air hosted a grand pre-launch party on October 18, 2024, at Radisson Blu Mumbai. The event was graced by notable dignitaries, including Chief Commercial Officer Ranon Viputsiri, Thai Consulate General Donnawit Poolsawat, and representatives from the Thai Tourism Authority. Key members of the travel industry, such as travel agents, tour operators, and online travel agencies, were also in attendance.
Speaking at the event, Ranon Viputsiri expressed excitement about the new service, stating, “This new route marks a pivotal milestone for Nok Air as we strengthen our international network as a premium budget airline. Enhanced connectivity between India and Bangkok will position Bangkok as a key gateway to Thailand, providing travellers with seamless access to popular destinations like Phuket and Chiang Mai, along with lesser-known gems such as Chiang Rai, Nan, Trang, and more, ensuring a comprehensive travel experience.”
What This Means for Travellers
The new service bridges the vibrant cities of Mumbai and Bangkok, providing a hassle-free option for Indian travellers eager to explore the Land of Smiles. With Bangkok as a central hub, passengers can easily connect to some of Thailand’s most iconic destinations:
- Phuket and Krabi for tropical beaches and thrilling water sports.
- Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai for cultural landmarks and lush mountains.
- Lesser-Known Gems like Nan, Trang, and other hidden treasures showcasing authentic Thai charm.
The timing of the launch aligns perfectly with the peak travel season, making it even easier for holidaymakers to indulge in Thailand’s world-renowned hospitality, rich culture, and stunning landscapes.
