Chennai: Thai Lion Air has introduced a new direct flight from Chennai to Bangkok. This makes it the fourth airline to offer a direct connection between the two cities. Chennai is a popular gateway to Thailand, with Thai Airways, AirAsia, and IndiGo also offering daily direct flights.
The new service will initially run four times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Thai Lion Air plans to increase the frequency to daily flights soon. The flight from Bangkok arrives in Chennai at 1 a.m., while the return flight departs Chennai at 2 a.m. and reaches Bangkok in about 3 hours and 40 minutes.
