Israeli airline Arkia has announced an increase in flights on its Tel Aviv-Bangkok route, adding a new direct flight on October 14. The return flight, IZ592, is scheduled to leave Bangkok at 11:55 PM, landing in Israel at 6:45 AM the following day.
The new flight will cost approximately $549 per person for economy class and $1300 for business class.

Arkia previously assisted in bringing Israelis back from Dubai following a significant incident on a Flydubai flight.
Arkia initially launched its direct Tel Aviv-Bangkok service on November 25, 2025, and has been operating the route weekly since then, serving thousands of Israelis. Currently, Arkia offers two direct flights per week between Tel Aviv and Bangkok, with schedules varying seasonally between Mondays/Wednesdays and Wednesdays/Fridays.
