Phuket flights set to increase with resumption of Nok Air schedule
A
recent announcement from Nok Air confirmed the airline will resume its
Bangkok-Phuket service from 20 February, with 11 weekly flights.
Nok
Air suspended the route in the middle of 2008 and at the same time
reduced staff and its fleet in response to rising fuel prices.

Phuket at 09:40. The return leg departs Phuket at 10:10 and arrives in
Don Muang at 11:30. There is another schedule flight to operate Monday,
Thursday, Firday and Sunday, departing Don Muang at 18:50 and arriving
in Phuket at 20:10. This will then depart Phuket at 20:00 and arrive in

limited availability. Nok Air resumption of this route will add more
capacity.
