IndiGo confirms Delhi route

The Indian no-frills carrier IndiGo is spreading its wings to Thailand to break Thai AirAsia's monopoly on low-cost air travel to the subcontinent.
An IndiGo jet stands ready to challenge Thai AirAsia for the lucrative Indian market.
The privately owned airline is scheduled to launch a daily service between Bangkok and Delhi on Sept 8, with a plan to later introduce two additional routes linking the Thai capital with Mumbai and Kolkata.
Bangkok is one of the first three foreign ports of call for the airline after fulfilling Indian authorities' prerequisite of operating domestically for five years.
The other two international cities IndiGo will service are Singapore and Dubai, both linked with Delhi, its home hub.
Thailand is popular among Indian leisure travellers and has high potential traffic growth, a factor that led IndiGo to start a route here, said Tya Vichayasai, sales and marketing manager of Pakin International Co, which was appointed general sales agent in Thailand for IndiGo.
About 900,000 Indians visited Thailand last year and more are expected this year, said Mr Tya.
