A week after launching direct flights to Bangkok, Air India Express has continued its expansion in Southeast Asia by announcing operations to Phuket, further strengthening its presence in Thailand. The airline will commence direct flights connecting Hyderabad and Phuket starting January 31, 2025, operating three times a week on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
From February 15, the frequency will increase to six times a week, with daily flights except Tuesday. To celebrate the launch, special inaugural fares are available, with Xpress Value fares from ₹11,000 across major booking channels and Xpress Lite fares from ₹10,500 and additional discounts for loyalty members on its website, airindiaexpress.com, and mobile apps.
In addition to expanding internationally, the airline has announced Dibrugarh in Assam as a new station after adding Dimapur in Nagaland to its growing network in November this year. The airline will operate direct flights from Dibrugarh to Guwahati, with the same aircraft continuing to Delhi, providing convenient onward connectivity for travellers from Dibrugarh heading to the national capital. Commenting on the new launches, Aloke Singh, Managing Director, Air India Express, said, “We are delighted to announce Phuket and Dibrugarh as the newest additions to our growing network.”
