Air Asia Direct Flight to Bankok

Thai Capital, Bankok is the place which is getting attention if the steps of most of the Airlines in India are an indication. With Air Asia deciding to Launch daily flights  between Kolkata  and Bangkok and the future plan of  increasing the frequency to twice daily in six to eight months, it looks certain that other airlines are sure to offer similar steps.

Besides Air Asia, Thai Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Jet Airways and Air India Express are already operating direct flights between Kolkata and Bangkok. The Air Asia step would be the perfect background for a fierce competition for garnering both Out Bound and Inbound travelers, it will also lead to slashing of prices for Air tickets by the major airline and thereby reducing their profit margins.

East Asia has been the center of attraction of most International airline due to increasing visitors to these countries for both leisure and corporate travel driven by the robust economic performance of the Asian countries. India in particular has seen not only increased tourist inflow but also seen a major rise in out bound tours to bot US  as well as major Asian countries. The move by the private airlines assumes importance also because Air India Express  has recently announced withdrawal of flights from any international sectors. Indian Airlines have been on an overdrive due to their rising operating profits and increasing consumer demand.
