The service will also bolster international connectivity from Bihar, while supporting tourism, cultural exchange, and economic development across the region.
The Gaya-Bangkok service will connect two destinations that share deep Buddhist ties. Gaya is home to the revered Mahabodhi Temple, Bodh Gaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Buddhism’s most revered pilgrimage destinations.
The site attracts thousands of pilgrims and visitors from Thailand and other parts of the world every year.
The new flights will offer a convenient travel option for pilgrims, leisure travellers and tourists looking to explore the spiritual and cultural heritage of India and Thailand.
The service is also expected to benefit the tourism ecosystem in Bihar, including hotels, local transport and other travel-related businesses.
Thailand continues to be a popular international destination for Indian travellers. IndiGo currently operates more than 140 weekly flights between India and Thailand, connecting Bangkok with Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bhubaneswar.
IndiGo also operates direct flights to Phuket from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata, and to Krabi from Delhi.
