Thai Airways International in the network the desk measures
Computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics. The desk holds departure schedules for 571 airports, and for the TG code that yields 63 city pairs across 64 of them. It is a measured sample of the published timetable and not the whole of it. Frequencies move with the season, and a quote is priced on the flights running the day you ask.

The schedule the desk holds carries the TG code on 63 city pairs, reaching 64 airports in 31 countries and territories. Some of those sectors are flown by Thai Airways International and some are sold under its code and flown by a partner, which is how the published timetable states it and how a booking has to be read. 75 per cent of those airports sit on Asian time zones, and the next largest block is on European time zones.
01The longest sector held for the carrier is Bangkok (BKK) to London (LHR) at about 9,578 km, and the shortest is Bangkok (BKK) to Khon Kaen (KKC) at about 379 km. 25.4 per cent of the network is long haul, 16 of the 63 pairs running past 5,000 km. That is the range at which a courier flies through the night and clears customs on the morning of the second calendar day. The airport that appears most often on those pairs is Bangkok (BKK), on 62 of them, which is 98.4 per cent of everything held under this code.
02The thickest sector under the code is Bangkok (BKK) to Phuket (HKT) at about 26.4 movements a day, which across a full day is roughly one every 0.9 hours. On a sector at that cadence a missed departure costs a wait rather than a night. 34 of the 63 pairs run four or more times a day and 5 run once a day or less. The second figure is the one that matters when a consignment leaves the factory late, because on those sectors the desk will quote a different carrier rather than promise an hour it cannot hold. After Bangkok (BKK) the code leans on Melbourne (MEL) on 2, Ahmedabad (AMD) on 1, Amsterdam (AMS) on 1 pairs respectively, and those are the airports a dispatcher looks at second when the first routing is full.
The sectors that carry the TG code most often
The 16 sectors the TG code appears on most often, out of 63. Flights a day is the average daily scheduled movement on the busier of the two directions, as held on 2026-09-07. The schedule lists a code against a sector whether the carrier operates it or sells it, so read this as where the code can be booked. Distances are great circle, computed from the published coordinates of the two airports.
How a courier reaches Bangkok from the Gulf
The schedule the desk holds shows no TG service into a UAE airport, so a courier does not board this carrier in Dubai. The routing is built the other way round: a Gulf carrier takes the first leg to Bangkok (BKK), and Thai Airways International carries the second.
The first leg, measured. These are the 3 links the desk holds from a UAE gateway into Bangkok (BKK), the airport this code is booked through most often.
Night restrictions on the airports the TG code uses
A hand carry is bought for the hours it saves, and an airport that will not take a movement after a certain hour can spend those hours back. 17 of the 64 airports this code is booked through carry a restriction the desk holds in writing, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, and the desk confirms the position with the airport or the carrier before it books.
- Seoul (ICN), night operations. Operates around the clock.
- Brussels (BRU), night restrictions. Night movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local are limited by quota and noise rules.
- Zurich (ZRH), night restrictions. Scheduled movements end at 23:00 local, with delayed flights permitted until 23:30. Nothing scheduled before 06:00.
- Shanghai (PVG), night operations. Operates around the clock.
- Tokyo (HND), night operations. Operates around the clock; the preferred Tokyo gate for a late departure.
- Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA), night restrictions. No scheduled take offs or landings between 23:00 and 05:00 local. A late evening departure that slips past 23:00 does not go until morning.
Published lanes that carry the TG code
The site publishes a page for 346 courier lanes. Thai Airways International appears in the schedule on 2 of them, and the one it flies most is Bangkok to Tokyo at about 8.1 movements a day. That overlap is the honest test of whether a carrier is useful to this desk rather than merely famous.
The countries the TG code opens
Of the 31 countries and territories reached, 20 are reached at a single airport, which for a courier means one airport of entry and a road leg for everything else in that country. The deepest is Thailand with 9 airports on this code. The country desk for Thailand sets out the customs practice, the working hours and the road legs behind these airports.
Thailand (9 airports), India (7 airports), Japan (6 airports), China (5 airports), Australia (4 airports), Pakistan (3 airports), Vietnam (2 airports), Malaysia (2 airports), Germany (2 airports), Taiwan (2 airports).
