Thai Airways to Operate Three Repatriation Flights to/from London Heathrow

Thai Airways has confirmed plans to operate three repatriation flights between Bangkok and London Heathrow.

The Thai flag carrier has already operated three repatriation flights from London Heathrow, but this is the first time that the airline will also carry UK nationals stranded in Thailand back home. Previous flights have left Bangkok without passengers.

Three special flights to London will be available to those who wish to return to the UK such as Thai students returning to school or university, UK residents, and businessmen.

Flight TG916 from Bangkok to London is scheduled to depart from Suvarnabhumi on 9, 16, and 23 August 2020 at 12:50 and arrive at London Heathrow at 19:10 hours.

Stranded Thais in the UK will fly be able to fly back on the return leg from London to Bangkok.

That flight, TG917, is scheduled to depart Heathrow on 9, 16, and 23 August 2020 at 21:00 arriving at Suvarnabhumi airport at 15:00 the following day.

According to current COVID19 preventive measures imposed by the UK and Thai governments, passengers arriving in the UK and Thailand must self-isolate and quarantine at their own expense for 14 days respectively. Travellers should check with the authorities and the airline for the very latest departure and entry requirements.

In pre-COVID19 times, Thai Airways would operate two flights per day between London Heathrow and Bangkok in the northern winter schedule, one with an Airbus A380 and the other a Boeing 777. The airline suspended all international flights in March 2020 and is currently hoping to gradually resume services in September, at the earliest.
