British Airways has resumed operations to the Thai capital, Bangkok. Departing from London’s Gatwick airport on October 28, 2024, the flight landed in Bangkok the following day, after four years of the airline not operating to Thailand.
British Airways announced its return to Bangkok earlier this year having last flown in 2020. Flights will operate three times per week initially, increasing up to five times per week in January and February 2025, and four times per week in March 2025.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ chief planning and strategy officer said: “We know that Bangkok has been a highly anticipated route restart for our customers, so we are thrilled to see it firmly back on our global route map.”
He added: “Not only does Bangkok itself have so much to offer our leisure customers, but it is a gateway to some of the most beautiful parts of Southeast Asia and we are proud to make these more accessible to the UK market.”
Additionally, the British flag carrier has also confirmed that it will resume flying to Kuala Lumpur on April 1, 2025, with a daily flight from London Heathrow.
The Gatwick to Bangkok service will be operated by the airline's 777 aircraft.
