NokScoot to launch New Delhi service

Thailand NokScoot will enter the South Asia market as it prepares for its inaugural nonstop service from Bangkok to New Delhi on Dec.18. Flying 4X-weekly, the route will be serviced by the airline’s Boeing 777-200, configured in high-density seating with 391 in economy and 24 in premium economy, known as ScootBiz. India’s SpiceJet has been flying this route since 2017. Thai Airways, Air India, and Jet Airways also fly nonstop service between the two cities. “NokScoot believes these flights will appeal to both leisure and business travelers going to and from Delhi, which is the fourth most populous urban area in the world. Passengers on the new route can also conveniently make easy connections from and to key domestic destinations around India,” NokScoot CEO Yodchai Sudhidhanakul said, adding the Don Mueang-based carrier will add another Indian destination in the 2019 1H. The announcement comes two months after it launched 4X-weekly service to Japan Osaka in October and will increase the frequency to 6X-weekly starting Feb. 2, 2019. Sudhidhanakul said the route has seen strong demand and NokScoot will continue to increase frequencies and destinations to Japan.<br/>
