GUWAHATI
A thrice-a-week direct flight between Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport in Guwahati and Bangkok was introduced on December 1.
Airport officials said the Thai Air Asia flight landed at Guwahati at 11.10 p.m. with 56 passengers, and left at 11.40 p.m. for Bangkok with 97 passengers on board.
“This new flight is expected to go a long way in making our airport a hub of air connectivity to the southeast Asian countries. It will give a fillip to the tourism industry in the northeast,” Utpal Baruah, Guwahati’s Chief Airport Officer said on Saturday.
The service would be extended to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam in the future, he added.
The Guwahati-Bangkok flight will be operated on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The flying time between the two cities is 2 hours 35 minutes.
Mr. Baruah said the Guwahati airport handled 4.6 lakh passengers in September, which was 22% more than the 3.6 lakh passengers handled during the same month in 2022.
