Drukair, Royal Bhutan Airlines, is set to boost its flight operations via Guwahati starting April 2026. The airline will reintroduce twice-weekly flights from Paro to Bangkok through Guwahati and add a third weekly service to Singapore via the same route. These enhancements are designed to strengthen regional connectivity and travel options.

Bangkok serves as a vital regional gateway, while Singapore is a global aviation and financial hub, offering extensive onward connectivity.

Drukair CEO Tandi Wangchuk highlighted the strong India-Bhutan relationship and the strategic importance of these expanded routes for economic growth and international engagement.
