Two more direct AI flights connecting Kolkata with Bangkok and Jaipur will be added from October 15, Air India said in a release on Wednesday. It said that the two flights will be operated by the Airbus 320 neo aircraft with two-class configuration.

The AI is hopeful of fulfilling the long-standing demand of passengers for a convenient connection to both Bangkok and Jaipur from Kolkata. The flights to Bangkok and Jaipur from Kolkata were withdrawn by the airline about 10 years ago, Air India, sources said.
