Encouraged by good results in the final quarter of 2015, Thai Airways has decided to resume flights to Russia, The Nation reported on Mar. 1.

The Moscow-Bangkok service will be restarted in October 2016, according to the report.

The airline had discontinued its Moscow service in March 2015 as Russian tourist numbers to Thailand fell on account of a depreciated ruble.
