A
tri-weekly direct flight between Guwahati and Bangkok has been introduced which will be operated by Thai Air Asia on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday on the Bangkok-Guwahati route, an official said on Saturday.
The maiden flight landed at Guwahati airport on Friday night with a total of 56 passengers and left after half an hour for Bangkok with 97 passengers.
The flight took off from Guwahati at 11.40 p.m. on Friday night and landed in Bangkok at around 2.15 p.m. Indian time, early morning in Thailand.
