Tata Group airline Air India says it will start operating a second daily service (except Wednesdays) to Phuket, a popular resort destination in Thailand, from June 1.
In a press statement, the airline says that the new flights are in addition to its daily flights already in operation between Delhi and Phuket.
The airline adds that timed to maximise connections, the second daily service (except Wednesdays) to Phuket will offer travellers a convenient late morning departure from Delhi, helping to link guests arriving from Europe for the popular beach destination.
The airline adds that since launching service to Phuket four times a week in December 2023, Air India increased frequency to make it a daily service in January 2024, and will now operate nearly double daily flights.
With the additional flights, Air India will operate 34 weekly flights to Thailand from Delhi and Mumbai.Seats on the additional flights to Phuket are available for booking on all channels, including Air India’s website, mobile app, and via travel agents.
Air India says that its current flight, AI378, leaves Delhi every day at 02:05 to reach Phuket at 08:10 the same day. On the return leg, AI379, leaves Phuket at 09:15 every day and reaches Delhi at 12:20 the same day.
The new frequency, AI 376, will leave Delhi at 11:00, reaching Phuket at 17:15 the same day and on the return leg, flight AI 377 will leave Phuket at 18:15 and reaches Delhi at 12:20. Air India says that the second frequency will operate every day except Wednesday.
