Thai Vietjet to add Frequency of Fukuoka – Bangkok to 4 Flights Weekly

Thai Vietjet, a Thai-registered new generation carrier, further announced the increase of its international service Fukuoka – Bangkok to 4 flights per week, starting from September 1, 2022.

“We have received great feedback from the market, really beyond expectation, both from Thailand and Japan, since our flight service launch between Fukuoka and Bangkok back in July 2022,” said Mr. Pinyot Pibulsonggram, Director of Commercial, Thai Vietjet. “This is a significant and positive sign that the international travel market is gradually bouncing back after a long Covid-19 break. With further relaxation of travel restriction in both countries, we expect to add more flights during the upcoming peak travel season, offering more convenient yet affordable choice of travel for international tourists traveling between the two countries.”

The airline commenced its flight service connecting Fukuoka and Bangkok on July 16, 2022, with the welcome ceremony at Fukuoka Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Starting September 1, 2022, the service connecting Fukuoka to Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi) will be operated for four weekly flights on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, with an approximate flight duration of 5 hours 30 minutes, and the following flight schedule:

The airline also offers various connections at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to various Thai top domestic destinations, including Phuket, Krabi, and Chiang Mai.

In addition, Vietjet Group offers direct services from Hanoi (Vietnam) to Fukuoka and Nagoya. The route connecting Fukuoka to Hanoi is operated with three return flights on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, while the service from Nagoya to Hanoi has four return flights per week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Currently, passengers entering Thailand are no longer required to possess a certificate of testing for a negative COVID-19 result prior to entering the country or upon arrival. Passengers are also not required to quarantine upon arrival due to the removal of the ‘Test & Go’ scheme from 1 May 2022.

As the Fastest Growing Low-cost Carrier of the Year 2020 (awarded by Global Business Outlook Magazine, London), Thai Vietjet has continuously expanded its flight network, both domestic and international.  The airline has recently been awarded the ‘New Airline Award’ of the Changi Airline Award 2022 for commencing flight services to Changi Airport despite COVID-19, highlighting the airline’s contributions toward maintaining the resilience of the Singapore air hub during the pandemic.
