Air Asia will operate direct flights to Bangkok from Visakhapatnam from October or from November this year.

The airline submitted a letter to the Airport Director of Visakhapatnam International Airport requesting for time slots. Tour and Travel Operators Association of Andhra has been following up the airline operator starting with the visit of High Commissioner of Thailand and Pisan Manawat and his team and also the top decision makers of Thai Smile to Visakhapatnam on August 31, 2013 according to TTOA Chairman O.Naresh Kumar.

The advantages of having direct flights from Vizag to Thailand over the nearest major cities is that the distance between these two destinations is only 1,905 km as against 2,400 km from Hyderabad to Bangkok and 2,254 km from Chennai to Bangkok. This will save a lot of time and money to the travellers from this region.
