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.

The reinstatement of daily services to Brussels increases Thai Airways' presence in Europe with operations across eleven airports. Despite ceasing flights to Moscow Domodedovo, Rome Fiumicino, Vienna, Athens, and Madrid over recent years, the airline maintains an average of thirteen daily departures to Europe in December—its lowest level since 2017.

In terms of capacity adjustments due to lower-capacity equipment being used for European routes post-pandemic impacts are evident. "Weekly seats for sale remain down by 4%, but higher frequency offsets this," notes an industry analysis.

The breakdown of routes emphasizes Star Alliance hubs including double daily services from Bangkok to Frankfurt and London Heathrow using Boeing 777-300ERs among others such as Paris CDG and Zurich.
