Çelebi India has announced its partnership as the ground handling partner for Thai AirAsia’s new passenger flights between Bangkok and Hyderabad
Çelebi will be providing comprehensive ground handling support for Thai AirAsia’s operations at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, further affirming Çelebi’s commitment to excellence in India’s rapidly growing aviation sector.
This collaboration comes as Thai AirAsia expands its footprint in India by launching four direct weekly flights connecting Hyderabad with Bangkok, a key milestone that highlights Hyderabad’s emergence as an important destination for business travel and cultural tourism.
It also signifies the increasing demand for international travel across India. As Thai AirAsia deepens its presence in India, Çelebi is proud to be a strategic partner in ensuring seamless operations while also serving a broader mission to support the growth of India’s aviation infrastructure.
Tauseef Khan, CEO of Çelebi Ground Handling – India, commented on the new partnership: “Çelebi’s collaboration with Thai AirAsia at Hyderabad represents a significant step forward in our mission to expand our services across key airports in India. Passenger traffic between India and Thailand has increased significantly in recent months, especially with factors like the visa-free entry scheme extended by Thailand.
“The countries have agreed to add up to 7,000 extra flight seats per week for flights between their major cities, starting in November 2024 which is going to make efficient, reliable and scalable ground-handling service imperative. The partnership with Thai AirAsia will help us cater to this growing need and enhance the travel experience for their passengers. We look forward to contributing to the continued development of a world-class aviation ecosystem in India.”
“We are delighted to partner with Çelebi India as our ground handling service provider in Hyderabad,” said Witchunee Kuntapeng, Thai AirAsia spokesperson. “With Çelebi’s reputation for operational excellence and reliability, we are confident in providing our passengers with a seamless experience as we launch our new direct flights connecting Bangkok to Hyderabad.
“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our commitment to expand our footprint in India, where we see a tremendous potential for growth. Hyderabad is an important destination for us, and we look forward to welcoming more travellers on this route as we continue to strengthen connectivity between India and Thailand.”
