Thai Vietjet Air makes first flight to Singapore from Bangkok

Thai Vietjet Air, Thailand’s dynamic airline, celebrated its maiden journey from Bangkok to Singapore, landing amidst much fanfare at Singapore’s Changi International Airport.

The first set of passengers aboard this inaugural flight to Singapore was treated to Thai Vietjet Air’s iconic in-flight show, “Fly for Love”, presented by the cabin crew. Each passenger was also gifted a special keepsake by the airline.

The maiden flight VZ520 from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport landed safely at Changi International Airport with a warm welcome from H.E. Mr. Chutintorn Gongsakdi, Ambassador of Thailand to Singapore; Ms. Patsalin Swetarat, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand for Singapore and the Philippines; Mr. Lim Ching Kiat, Managing Director, Air Hub Development, Changi Airport Group; and Mr Luong Truong An, Executive Vice President, Thai Vietjet.

“We are excited to welcome Thai Vietjet Air to the Changi family, joining its sister airline Vietjet Air. Passengers on the new services will benefit from the airline’s strong domestic network, with more travel options between Singapore and Thailand, via Bangkok and Phuket.

“Thailand was Changi Airport’s 5th largest passenger market pre-Covid and has consistently been within our top 10 markets even during the pandemic. As of April 2022, we have seen a 36% recovery in seat capacity between the two countries, and we look forward to welcoming back more passengers at Changi Airport as travel in the region resumes,” said Mr Lim Ching Kiat, Managing Director, Air Hub Development, Changi Airport Group.

“The new service Bangkok–Singapore launch today marks another successful milestone for Thai Vietjet. We are thrilled to connect Thailand and Singapore through direct flights that will provide more leisure and business accessibility and opportunities for the citizens & travelers from both countries.

“After a long period of pandemic disruption, the services connecting Thailand and Singapore will play a critical role in assisting the two nations’ trade & economic recovery while also serving the growing travel demand in the region,” said Mr Woranate Laprabang, Chief Executive Officer of Thai Vietjet.

In the initial stages, flights between Bangkok and Singapore will operate thrice a week, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday with a flight duration of two hours and 25 minutes. This will later be increased to five flights a week, with a daily service to be added in June 2022.

The airline was recently awarded the “Most Passenger-Friendly Cabin Crew” in 2021 by the International Finance Magazine.
