Thai Airways is boosting its European network returning to Italy with a non-stop connection between Bangkok and Milan after four years. The carrier left the Italian market in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 health crisis and also plans to resume service to Rome-Fiumicino.
With this new service, the airline expects to develop the region’s commercial and tourism activity through commercial aviation. Italy expects to receive 300,000 tourists from Thailand by 2025, reaching pre-pandemic levels.
According to data obtained by Aviacionline through the Italian National Agency for Civil Aviation (ENAC), 154,626 passengers traveled between Milan and Bangkok in 2019, the sixth busiest long-haul route from Malpensa Airport.
