IndiGo will start operating a direct flight between Gaya in Bihar and Bangkok, marking the first such service and promising to enhance travel options for the region.
IndiGo has announced the commencement of a direct air service linking Gaya Airport in Bihar with Bangkok, Thailand. This will be the airline's inaugural nonstop connection between the two cities, offering passengers a new route without the need for transfers.
The launch is expected to provide a convenient travel option for both leisure and business travelers from Bihar, potentially stimulating tourism and trade ties with Southeast Asia. Industry observers note that direct connectivity often leads to increased passenger traffic and economic benefits for the originating region.
Details regarding the flight schedule, fare structure and travel duration will be released by the airline in the coming weeks. The service is slated to begin operations later this year, subject to regulatory clearances and airport readiness.
Local authorities in Bihar have welcomed the development, highlighting its potential to attract more visitors to the state's historical and cultural sites. The new route aligns with broader efforts to improve air connectivity across tier‑2 and tier‑3 cities in India.
