Air India Express has unveiled plans to operate direct flights between Pune and Bangkok, set to launch on December 20, 2024. This strategic move is designed to provide affordable travel options for both leisure and business travelers looking to explore the vibrant capital of Thailand. Air India Express’ decision to expand its network further strengthens its presence in Southeast Asia and caters to the growing demand for direct international routes from regional hubs like Pune.
Affordable Fares and Convenient Timings
The new Pune-Bangkok flight will operate three times a week, with departures on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The outbound flight from Pune will depart at 8:40 AM, arriving in Bangkok at 2:30 PM. The return flight from Bangkok will leave at 3:35 PM and reach Pune at 6:25 PM.

Strengthening Air Connectivity to Thailand
The introduction of direct flights from Pune to Bangkok is an important step for Air India Express in strengthening its international network. As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, Bangkok has long attracted Indian travelers seeking to experience the city’s culture, shopping, and entertainment. By offering direct flights, Air India Express provides a quicker, more convenient way for travelers to reach Thailand without the hassle of connecting flights.
Business travelers will also find this new route beneficial, as Bangkok continues to grow as a key business hub in Southeast Asia. Whether attending conferences or exploring trade opportunities, the new direct flights will offer professionals a convenient option for travel.
Surat to Bangkok Flights Expected in Early 2025
In addition to the Pune-Bangkok flights, Air India Express is also preparing to launch direct services between Surat and Bangkok in early 2025. Surat’s rapidly growing business environment has led to increased demand for international travel, and the new Surat-Bangkok route will provide travelers from the region with more options and greater convenience when traveling to Thailand.
The direct Pune-Bangkok flights by Air India Express, starting December 20, 2024, are a welcome addition to the airline’s expanding network. With affordable fares, convenient flight timings, and direct connections to one of Southeast Asia’s most popular destinations, these flights are sure to be a hit with both leisure and business travelers. The forthcoming Surat-Bangkok service will further enhance the airline’s offerings in the region, making international travel more accessible for Indian passengers.
