Assam: Drukair resumes Bangkok flights via Guwahati, adds third weekly Singapore service

Guwahati: Drukair, Royal Bhutan Airlines, has reintroduced twice-weekly flights from Paro to Bangkok via Guwahati with effect from today, and will commence a third weekly frequency on the Singapore route from April 7, 2026.

This expansion marks a step towards strengthening regional connectivity between Bhutan, India, and Southeast Asia, while enhancing travel options for both passengers and cargo.

The reinstatement of Bangkok services via Guwahati restores a regional link that has facilitated tourism, medical travel, education, and business exchanges across Bhutan, India, and Thailand.

Bangkok, a key regional gateway with global connectivity, is expected to support tourism and outbound travel from the region.

The services will operate on the Paro–Guwahati–Bangkok (v.v.) and Paro–Guwahati–Singapore (v.v.) sectors, improving connectivity with international hubs. The additional Singapore frequency has been introduced in response to passenger demand.

Singapore, a major aviation and financial hub, provides onward connectivity across Asia-Pacific, Europe, Australia, and North America. The increased frequency is expected to offer greater flexibility and improved travel options for passengers.

Commenting on the development, Tandi Wangchuk, Chief Executive Officer of Drukair, said,
“The introduction of a third weekly service to Singapore and the reinstatement of our Bangkok flights via Guwahati represent a significant step in Drukair’s ongoing network expansion strategy.

This expansion aligns with the Government of India’s Act East Policy and supports the growing travel requirements of Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) in southern Bhutan.

Enhanced connectivity is essential to supporting tourism, strengthening business and educational exchanges, and deepening Bhutan’s engagement with global markets.”

Jalpa H Vithalani, Group Managing Director of Global Aviation Services Pvt. Ltd., the GSA of Drukair, said,
“The reintroduction of flights to Bangkok is more than the launch of a route — it represents a bridge between communities. It will facilitate tourism, medical travel, education, and business exchanges across Northeast India and Thailand, while strengthening cultural and economic ties across the region. We are honoured to partner with Drukair in bringing enhanced connectivity to India and beyond.”
