IndiGo will launch non-stop, twice-weekly flights between Gaya (Bodh Gaya) in Bihar and Bangkok in Thailand from October 26, 2026. The service operates on Mondays and Thursdays, with local timings for the route listed as 1:15 pm departure from Gaya and 10:15 am return from Bangkok. Booking is available through IndiGo’s website, mobile app and authorized travel partners, subject to regulatory approvals.

Both outlets describe Bodh Gaya as a major Buddhist pilgrimage destination, home to the Mahabodhi Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which draws visitors from Thailand and other countries. They say the direct connection is expected to make travel more convenient for Buddhist pilgrims, tourists and leisure travelers and to support tourism-linked sectors in Bihar.

The Economic Times emphasizes strengthening air connectivity between India and Thailand and notes IndiGo’s existing Bangkok network and direct flights to Phuket and Krabi. Free Press Journal similarly highlights improved connectivity and tourism benefits, and also underscores that IndiGo already operates more than 140 flights per week between India and Thailand.
