From December this year, there will be a daily direct connection between Brussels and Bangkok again, as Thai Airways is returning to Brussels Airport. The direct flight to the capital of Thailand disappeared during the Covid-19 pandemic.
After a four-year hiatus in the wake of Covid-19, Brussels Airport may once again welcome Thai Airways. This Star Alliance airline was already operating at Brussels Airport until before the pandemic.
"It is extremely good news to welcome Thai Airways back to Brussels Airport," said Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport. "This daily direct service to Bangkok strengthens our position as a European hub and offers our passengers even more travel options to Asia."
"For Thai passengers too, our airport offers an ideal gateway to the rest of Europe," he said. Thailand remains an important tourist destination that is now once again directly accessible to Belgian passengers.
From 1 December 2024, Thai Airways will immediately start a daily flight to Bangkok. The flights will be launched with a Boeing 787-8, one of the most efficient aircraft on the market in terms of both emissions and noise.
For Brussels Airport, this offers an important addition to its intercontinental network as a major destination both for tourism and business travel. "This will reconnect Thai Airways directly to the heart of Europe, with all its European and international institutions."
