BENGALURU: Citing ‘commercial non-viability’ as the reason, IndiGo has cancelled two of its non-stop weekly flights between Bengaluru and Phuket, Thailand, for May and June. Six weekly non-stop IndiGo direct flights between Delhi and Phuket, however, will continue to fly.
“Phuket is a key market for IndiGo and we see great potential in the growth of tourism between India and Phuket. We will explore various alternative routes which will enable us to optimally utilize our fleet,” a spokesperson told TOI. The two weekly direct services had commenced operations in November, 2018.
With this, the GoAir non-stop daily service between Bengaluru and Phuket is the last direct service connecting the two cities. A quick scan of air fares for the month of May shows a 60% surge compared to April and June.
