As travel to Thailand takes momentum with its recent reopening, MakeMyTrip, India’s leading online travel company, in partnership with ultra-low-cost airline GO FIRST has launched exclusive Air Charter Holiday Services to Phuket.

These charter flights will further strengthen our international network, while offering our passengers additional choice and flexibility to plan their vacation.”
