Ahmedabad: With the Thai Airways annoucing to launch a direct flight between Ahmedabad and Bangkok from April 1, the number of international services at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport has gone up to nine.
As of now the airport has eight international airlines — Emirates, Etihad, Air Arabia, Fly Dubai, Qatar Airways, Air India, Singapore and recently started Spicejet — mostly connecting Gulf countries including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah besides Air India which has two one-stop flights for The United States and the United Kingdom.
Thailand’s Ambassador to India Pisan Manawapat had announced the launch of the service from April 1 during the Vibrant Gujarat Summit. Sources said initially it would be a weekly flight but the frequency may be doubled once its operational.
