Vietjet Thailand Launches New Daily Kuala Lumpur–Bangkok Service

Pack your bags and get your tastebuds ready for some spicy Tom Yum! Vietjet Thailand has officially announced its first-ever direct service to Malaysia, launching a new daily route between Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.

Vietjet Thailand Launches New Daily Kuala Lumpur–Bangkok Service

Announced on June 22, 2026, this new service is set to majorly boost air connectivity between the two Southeast Asian hubs. Whether you're traveling for business, a shopping spree, or a cultural getaway, this route opens up convenient access to Bangkok and effortless onward travel across Thailand and beyond.

📅 The Flight Schedule (Starting October 9, 2026)

The new daily flights will connect Kuala Lumpur (KLIA Terminal 2) and Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport). Here is the official schedule so you can start planning your itinerary:

✈️ Fly in Style: The Brand-New Boeing 737-8

To celebrate this milestone, Vietjet Thailand is deploying its brand-new Boeing 737-8 aircraft for this route. As part of the airline's major fleet expansion strategy—which aims to welcome a total of 50 Boeing 737-8 aircraft by 2028—this next-gen plane is built for a premium low-cost experience.

Passengers can look forward to:

• Spacious seating with generous legroom.

• Larger overhead storage bins.

• Improved operational and environmental efficiency.

This fleet expansion will support increased flight frequencies, new route launches, and stronger connectivity across short-haul, medium-haul, and connecting flight markets.

🤝 Boosting Tourism & Economy for 2026

This strategic move aligns perfectly with massive tourism campaigns in both nations. It directly supports Malaysia’s ambitious Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, which aims to attract 43 million international visitors. Concurrently, it backs Thailand's tourism promotion efforts driven by the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Tourism Product Highlight 2026 initiative.

"Kuala Lumpur is a key gateway in ASEAN, while Bangkok continues to serve as a major destination for tourism, business, lifestyle, culture, dining, and shopping. The launch of this new route reflects our commitment to expanding Vietjet Thailand’s international network and offering more convenient, accessible, and affordable travel options across the region."

— Mr. Woranate Laprabang, CEO of Vietjet Thailand

 

🌏 Beyond Bangkok: Where Can You Go Next?

The daily direct service doesn't just stop at Bangkok. It acts as a gateway to Vietjet Thailand’s growing domestic and international network. From Suvarnabhumi Airport, you can easily catch connecting flights to:

• Domestic Thailand: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Ubon Ratchathani, Khon Kaen, and more.

• International Destinations: Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Taipei, and beyond.

Mr. Woranate Laprabang added, "We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard our brand-new Boeing 737-8 aircraft and delivering enjoyable journeys with friendly service, affordable fares, and memorable travel experiences under our ‘Enjoy Flying’ concept.”
