Thai Airways International (TG) plans to resume daily flights between Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) and Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport (AMS) starting July 1, 2026. The airline last served the Amsterdam route in late 1998, marking a nearly 28-year hiatus. The flights will be operated using Airbus A350-900 aircraft, offering Thai Airways' signature in-flight service and hospitality.

Why it matters

The resumption of Thai Airways' Amsterdam flights represents a significant milestone for the airline as it looks to rebuild its international route network following the pandemic. Amsterdam is a key European hub, and the renewed service will provide more connectivity options for travelers between Thailand and the Netherlands, as well as onward connections throughout Europe.

Thai Airways has applied for rights to reinstate the Bangkok-Amsterdam flights, which will operate daily. The outbound TG 935 flight will depart BKK at 4:30 am and arrive in AMS at 11:15 am local time. The return TG 937 flight will depart AMS at 2:00 pm and arrive in BKK at 6:20 am the following day, local time. The flights will be operated using Airbus A350-900 aircraft, known for their long-haul comfort and efficiency.
