The airline operates flights with 370 all-economy seats. Thai AirAsia X and Thai AirAsia are part of the larger AirAsia Group. While Thai AirAsia X specialises in long-haul flights exceeding four hours, Thai AirAsia, which currently serves 12 Indian cities, operates shorter routes using Airbus A320 aircraft.
The launch follows the expansion of bilateral flying rights between India and Thailand. Under the updated Air Service Agreement, the weekly capacity for airlines on both sides has increased by 7,000 seats, with a further potential rise to 14,000 seats. Additionally, Indian citizens now enjoy visa-free entry to Thailand, while India has waived Thai tourist visa fees, boosting travel accessibility.
