After a pandemic-induced gap of almost two years, Bhutan-based Drukair has resumed its scheduled flight service between Paro, Bhutan, and Bangkok, Thailand, via Bagdogra in West Bengal, officials said on Tuesday.
The scheduled flights on the Paro-Bagdogra-Bangkok sector restarted on Monday, Drukair senior executive (Reservation) Nilanjana Sen said.
With the resumption of the Drukair flight, the Bagdogra airport once again has started handling international flights, an official of the Airports Authority of India said.
The airline's flights between Paro and Bangkok with a stopover at Bagdogra will operate two days a week, Bagdogra airport director P Subramani said.
Drukair will operate a flight from Paro to Bangkok via Bagdogra on Mondays, and the return flight from Bangkok will be on Tuesdays.
The flight from Paro will reach Bagdogra at 11.50am and depart for Bangkok at 12.40pm, while the return flight from Bangkok will arrive in Bagdogra at 8.40am and take off for Paro at 9.30am every Tuesday, the airport director said.
