The Thai government has decided to resume Thai Airways’ operations in Telangana to pre-Covid level from October 30. The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) represented the Thai government in the month of April to resume passenger and cargo operations which were suspended during Covid.
Anil Agarwal, president of FTCCI, said: “Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the daily Thai Airways flight link between Hyderabad and Bangkok was operated by a wide-body Boeing B777-200 aircraft which offered ample capacity of over 300 seats, including 30 business class seats and over 15 metric tonnes of commercial cargo in addition to passenger baggage.”
Telangana which houses many MNCs and is home to numerous industries and businesses is engaged actively in trade with Thailand and other nearby regions.
