Thai Airways India Flights Winter 2026-27

The short answer

Thai Airways' winter 2026–27 schedule adds flights between Bangkok and three Indian cities, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, from November 2026, and runs a seasonal daily Bangkok–Gaya service from 25 October. Explera DMC tells Indian agencies that more weekly departures make it easier to keep a whole group on one flight.

For Indian agencies, seats rather than hotels have often limited group departures to Thailand. More frequencies this winter give groups more days to choose from. Our Thailand team has the route detail in its note on Thai Airways' India frequencies. This is the short version for agencies that sell Thailand from India.

Which Indian Routes Gain Flights?

Kolkata, from daily to 10 flights a week from early November 2026.
Bengaluru, from daily to 11 flights a week from mid-November.
Hyderabad, from daily to 10 flights a week from mid-November.
Gaya, a seasonal daily service from 25 October 2026.

Press reports give slightly different start dates for each route, so confirm the operating date with the airline before ticketing. The winter schedule runs from 25 October 2026 to 27 March 2027 across 66 routes.

Why Does Gaya Matter?

Gaya is the airport for Bodh Gaya, one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites. A daily Bangkok link in the winter season lets pilgrimage groups combine Bodh Gaya with Thailand, or lets Thai and other Asian groups travel the other way through Bangkok.

What Does It Mean for Group Programmes?

More departure days. With 10 or 11 flights a week, a large group is easier to keep on one flight.
Ask for group fares early. Extra seats do not mean cheap seats in peak weeks; request group space through the airline or your consolidator.
Time the ground to the flight. Airport meeting and coach transfers should follow the confirmed flight numbers, not the schedule announcement.
