VietJet Thailand Launches Direct Bangkok–Kolkata Flights from November 2025

In a strategic move to strengthen its foothold in the India–Thailand aviation corridor, VietJet Thailand is launching direct flights from Bangkok to Kolkata starting November 16, 2025. This new connection is set to redefine air travel options for both B2B travel agents and corporate planners, especially those managing Southeast Asia itineraries.

With four weekly flights, the route opens fresh possibilities for business and leisure traffic between Eastern India and Bangkok, one of Asia’s most frequented cities.

Flight Schedule & Aircraft Details

VietJet Thailand will operate the Bangkok–Kolkata route using its Airbus A320-200, known for efficiency and comfort on short-haul international sectors.

• Flight VZ770: Departs Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) at 9:55 PM and lands in Kolkata (CCU) at 11:20 PM IST

• Flight VZ771: Returns from Kolkata at 12:20 AM IST, arriving in Bangkok at 4:25 AM

These timings are well-suited for overnight travel, giving business travellers and tourists the flexibility to maximise their stay.

0 Baht Launch Promo: Limited-Time Booking Opportunity

To celebrate the route launch, VietJet is offering 0 baht base fare tickets, available until July 22, 2025. The offer is valid for travel between November 16, 2025, and March 28, 2026.

While the base fare is zero, passengers must pay applicable taxes and surcharges, making it a strong selling point for agents promoting early bird bookings.

Strategic Expansion: Why Kolkata Was Chosen

Kolkata, India’s third-largest metro, is a vital air hub connecting Eastern India to Southeast Asia. With limited direct services to Thailand compared to other Indian metros, the city has long awaited low-cost, non-stop flights to Bangkok.

VietJet Thailand’s move follows successful operations from Mumbai and Phuket, highlighting its commitment to scaling Indian operations. The new service aims to capture demand from:

• Leisure travellers heading to Thai beaches and cities

• Business travellers looking for reliable, cost-effective access

• B2B agents catering to fixed departures and MICE bookings

More Options = More Value for Agents

This new service intensifies competition on the Bangkok–Kolkata corridor, which already includes players like IndiGo and Thai Airways. Increased capacity often translates to:

• Better fares for bulk bookings

• Greater seat availability during peak seasons

• Improved flexibility for last-minute changes
  
  

VietJet’s low-cost model and efficient turnaround times make it a valuable partner for consolidators and OTAs managing high-volume Asia-bound bookings.

Thailand Still Reigns Supreme for Indian Outbound Travel

Thailand continues to dominate the Indian outbound tourism market, thanks to its:

• Vibrant cities like Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket

• Visa-on-arrival/e-visa convenience

• Strong air connectivity

• Shopping, cuisine, and wellness tourism
  
  

Adding Kolkata to VietJet Thailand’s route map ensures stronger access for East India, where traveller demand is surging post-pandemic.

Looking Ahead: Expansion Plans Across India

VietJet Thailand isn’t stopping at Kolkata. The airline is eyeing Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Delhi for upcoming routes. With growing outbound interest and competitive pricing, the brand is carving a reliable niche among Indian B2B travel professionals.

More routes mean more fare choices, package flexibility, and connectivity options—a win for agents looking to serve varied customer segments.

Key Takeaways for B2B Travel Professionals

• New Route: Bangkok–Kolkata, 4x weekly flights from Nov 16, 2025

• Promo Offer: 0 baht base fare for bookings made by July 22, 2025

• Target Market: Ideal for series fare buyers, MICE groups, and leisure agents
