BANGKOK, Thailand – Thai Vietjet is expanding flight frequencies on several domestic and international routes in preparation for Thailand’s upcoming high travel season, citing expectations of continued growth in tourism demand. The airline said it will increase services on popular domestic routes, including Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi)–Chiang Mai and Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi)–Phuket, with each route operating up to 12 flights per day. Overall, Thai Vietjet’s domestic network will reach up to 70 daily flights across 12 routes.
International services to Mumbai, Kolkata, Seoul, and Shanghai will also see additional frequencies as the carrier moves to accommodate higher passenger demand during the peak travel period. Pinyos Pibulsonggram, Vice President for Commercial and Customer Service at Thai Vietjet, said the airline expects Thailand’s tourism industry to maintain positive momentum throughout 2026, particularly during the high season. He cited projections by the Tourism Authority of Thailand of more than 200 million domestic trips and around 33 million international visitors this year.
