Singapore, Singapore Apr 13, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Drukair, the Royal Bhutan Airlines, has increased its flight service between Singapore (SIN) and Paro, Bhutan (PBH) from twice to three times weekly, effective April 2026. The enhancement marks a meaningful step forward in connectivity between Southeast Asia's busiest travel hub and one of the world's most sought-after cultural destinations.
As Paro International Airport remains Bhutan's sole international gateway, flight frequency has long shaped how travellers structure their itineraries. The addition of a third weekly service directly addresses this constraint, giving travellers from Singapore and the wider region significantly more scheduling freedom.
The New Flight Schedule at a Glance
With the updated arrangement, flights will now operate on the following days:
-
Singapore → Paro: Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday
-
Paro → Singapore: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday
After 15th May 2026, the schedule will be as follow:
-
Singapore → Paro: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday
-
Paro → Singapore: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday

More Frequency, More Freedom
With three departure options each week, it is now far easier to align travel dates with annual leave, school holidays, or Bhutan's celebrated tshechus (religious festivals), without sacrificing additional days off to accommodate a limited flight schedule.
Itineraries can now breathe. Travellers are no longer compelled to compress their experience to fit rigid inbound and outbound windows. Those visiting Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha can more naturally balance sightseeing with the deliberate, unhurried pace that defines travel in Bhutan — including opportunities for countryside homestays, acclimatisation days, or staying on after a festival.
Designed for Every Kind of Traveller
The enhanced schedule is particularly valuable for families and first-time visitors, who benefit most from a relaxed arrival-and-departure flow and reduced logistical pressure. It also opens the door for photography and wellness travellers who seek specific seasonal windows, as well as festival visitors who wish to arrive just before a tshechu or linger on after it has concluded.
The development reflects growing demand for Bhutan from Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region, while remaining fully consistent with Bhutan's model of high-value, low-impact tourism. This is thoughtful expansion — not mass connectivity.
