Thai Airways has resumed its regular service to Brussels, marking the return of flights after a hiatus of four and a half years. The route, which previously operated up to six times weekly, is now offered daily due to aircraft downgauging. This development makes Brussels the 11th European airport served by Thai Airways and represents the fourth-longest service from Brussels.
The Bangkok-Brussels route had 106,000 roundtrip point-to-point passengers before Thai Airways' resumption of nonstop flights. It ranks as Belgium's third-largest long-haul market following New York JFK and Dubai. In the airline's last full year of operation on this route, approximately 152,000 passengers were recorded with Thai Airways carrying about 43% of them.
Thai Airways' schedule for the Bangkok-Brussels route includes flight TG934 departing Bangkok at 00:30 and arriving in Brussels at 07:05 local time. The return flight TG935 departs Brussels at 13:10 and arrives in Bangkok at 06:10+1. The Boeing 787-8 aircraft operates this route covering a distance of 5,006 nautical miles (9,271 km). This is a change from the pre-pandemic use of the Airbus A350-900.
