Drukair Royal Bhutan Airlines launches ceremonial charter flight to Singapore from Paro via Guwahati on 1 September 2018. Regular scheduled flights on the Paro-Guwahati-Singapore-Guwahati-Paro routes begin from 29 September 2018. The Guwahati - Singapore new route of Drukair will be followed by another new scheduled route Paro - Pakyong on 1 January 2019.
The Guwahati - Singapore charter flight KB540 arrives in Changi Airport Terminal 1 at 3.20 pm on 1 September 2018, parking next to Gate D30 of Terminal 1. The last time Drukair A319 parks at the terminal building is on its first charter flight from Paro via Kolkata on 28 August 2012.
At around 4.50 pm on 1 September, the A319 aircraft with Sharklet moves over to its original remote parking bay slot and departs for Guwahati at 6.30 am under flight KB541 on 2 September 2018.
Drukair air crew, pilots, prestigious passengers, travel agents, Drukair representatives from Bhutan, Guwahati, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and travel media later attended the inaugural flight briefing and buffet dinner held at Hotel Intercontinental organized by Druk Asia, Drukair's Singapore Representative and Changi Airport to celebrate the charter flight and successful opening of the new route.
To mark the opening of the new route, Drukair Royal Bhutan Airlines takes the opportunity to inform the media and travel agents that the airline is selling promotional fares on the Guwahati-Singapore and Singapore-Guwahati route sectors from 150 Singapore Dollars one-way and 280 Singapore Dollars round-trip. Conditions apply.
One-way published fare for Economy Class starts from 215 Singapore Dollars, 400 Singapore Dollars for a round trip.
Drukair, that marks 35 years of safe flight operations on 11 February 2018, has a fleet of three Airbus A319-115 and one ATR 42-500 aircraft. It has signed the Purchase Agreement with Airbus for its first Airbus A320neo, that is configured to 20 Business Class and 120 Economy Class seats.
Drukair's A320neo jet is expected to arrive in Paro during the first quarter of 2020 and will enable the Bhutanese national flag carrier to launch new scheduled flights to prospective destinations such as Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur and introduce new frequencies to existing destinations with high passenger demand for Bhutan travel such as Delhi, Dhaka, Gaya, Guwahati, Singapore and Bangkok.
Since 26 July 2018, the A319 aircraft of Drukair has summer charter flights from Paro to Hong Kong and from Paro via Gaya to Hong Kong under flight codes KB800/KB801.
Drukair also signed the Memorandum Of Understanding with ATR for the purchase of one ATR 42-600 on 6 April 2018. The aircraft is expected for delivery in July 2019 to boost domestic passenger air traffic and operate on the new short-haul route to Pakyong, in Sikkim, India.
Drukair ATR 42-500 launches twice-weekly scheduled flight from Paro to Pakyong on 1 January 2019 with flight KB250 departing at 7.30 am, touching down in Pakyong at 7.50 am local time before leaving Pakyong for Paro at 8.30 am and landing in Paro at 9.50 am under flight KB251.
