Bangkok, 27 December 2023 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) marked the arrival of Neos Air’s maiden flight on the Milan-Brno-Phuket route with a Thai traditional welcome dance and personalised meet-and-greet presented by officials and figures to enrich passengers’ experience with a touch of local culture and renowned Thai hospitality.

Neos Air, an Italian airline, kicked start on the Milan-Brno-Phuket route with Flight NO216, landing at Phuket International Airport on 20 December 2023. The airline will operate on the route until April 2024 with one flight per week.

Sorry - I do not read TAT web site articles. Too much fake news.

This is good news for those who want to visit Brno in the Czech Republic, like myself. I wonder what will happen after April 2024 - will the airline continue to operate at a reduced or increased frequency?

Brno is Czechia’s second-largest city and has a mix of historical charm and modern innovation. It is also known as the Czech Silicon Valley. I enjoy beer, so I would love to visit Starobrno Brewery in Brno, which is one of the oldest breweries in Central Europe and has been brewing since 1325.
