IndiGo Doubles Down on Delhi-Phuket Route
Starting June 1st, IndiGo is doubling its current frequency on the Delhi-Phuket route, going from 7 flights per week to a whopping 14! This significant increase caters to the growing demand for travel to Thailand, a popular destination for both business and leisure travellers.
“Thailand has always been a prominent travel hub in Southeast Asia, known for its spectacular beaches, vibrant shopping scene, and delicious cuisine,” said Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo.
“These additional flights will cater to the increasing domestic demand to explore Phuket, Thailand’s largest island.”
Beyond Just Increased Frequency
They highlight the ease of travel with visa-free entry for Indian tourists and their dedication to providing an affordable, on-time, and hassle-free travel experience. Travelers can also connect seamlessly to other popular destinations like Bengaluru and Mumbai through IndiGo’s extensive network.
Air India Takes Off with Second Daily Flight
Air India isn’t sitting idle either. Recognizing the surge in popularity of Phuket, they’re adding a second daily flight (except Wednesdays) to the tropical paradise. This complements their existing daily service, offering a total of 14 flights per week starting June 1st.
The new flight caters specifically to connecting passengers arriving from Europe. The convenient late morning departure from Delhi (11:00 AM) allows for a seamless transition to Phuket, ensuring a relaxing start to your beach vacation.
