3 good reasons for you to fly Thai Airways on your next European holiday
- Thailand’s flag carrier adds Milan and Oslo to its European destinations that promise reliable, efficient and comfortable travel experiences
With the rapid recovery of international air travel since 2023, Thai Airways – Thailand’s flag carrier – has taken steps to consolidate its position as one of the world’s leading airlines by embarking on a programme of expansion that includes additional routes, new aircraft and enhanced services.
Earlier this year, one of the first moves was to announce direct flights from Bangkok to both Milan and Oslo. This added two popular destinations to a European network that already includes London, Paris, Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Brussels and Istanbul.
Such coverage offers immediate attractions for anyone flying between Asia and Europe, especially with the promise of fast and efficient connections for those who plan to transit via the main international airport serving Thailand’s capital, Bangkok – the ultra-modern Suvarnabhumi Airport.
“This enables the company to compete successfully in an ever-changing business environment,” Thai Airways says. “As a national carrier, we aim to offer world-class services and ensure brand value creation to achieve strong and sustainable growth.”
Since July 1, it has been operating daily flights between Bangkok and Italy’s Milan Malpensa Airport using the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. A late-night departure from Asia and morning arrival provides convenient travel timings, as does the return leg from Europe, which is scheduled to leave Milan at 2.05pm and land in Bangkok at 5.55am the next morning.
Its other new service to Oslo Gardermoen Airport, in Norway, uses the larger 348-seat Boeing 777-300ER. It follows a similar overnight schedule to maximise opportunities for connectivity and the number of travel options for passengers.
