 After London, Colombo, Dhaka and Dubai, Bangkok will be the fifth international destination on the international route network of Kingfisher Airlines.

 The launch of this new route will mark the first time that Kingfisher Airlines will be commencing operations from India to South East Asia. The flights between Bangkok and Kolkata will be operated using the A320 family of aircraft featuring Kingfisher Class, the premium economy service from Kingfisher Airlines.

 Siva Ramachandran, Vice President - Global Sales, Kingfisher Airlines, said, "Besides catering to entrepreneurs, traders and leisure traffic, the flights on this new route will offer emerging traffic segments like MICE-meetings, incentives, conventions and expositions amongst others. The services on this new route will offer traders and entrepreneurs who frequently travel to Bangkok, a truly world-class flying experience. For travelers flying in from Bangkok, they will now have the added advantage of convenient connectivity to onward destinations in India thanks to the large and unparalleled route network of Kingfisher Airlines."

 Kolkata is ideally placed as a transit hub for travellers flying from Bhubaneshwar, Guwahati, Patna and Ranchi into Bangkok as it offers easy connectivity, thanks to the fact that it has a minimum connect time. Guests flying in from Bangkok on Kingfisher Airlines will now have the added advantage of having very conveniently timed onward connections to many domestic destinations in India with almost immediate connections from Kolkata to Bhubaneswar, Delhi, Mumbai and all major metros in India. Buddhist pilgrims flying in from Thailand to Kolkata will now have convenient onward connection to Bodh Gaya.
