EZY Airlines starts scheduled flights between Hua Hin and U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport on 23 October 2026, four days a week on a Cessna Grand Caravan with about ten seats. Explera DMC Thailand explains where the 40-minute hop fits in a two-centre itinerary and what agents should check before selling it.

What is the new service?
Thaiger reports that the inaugural flight on 30 September 2026 left Hua Hin at 08:49 and landed at U-Tapao at 09:29, about 40 minutes. Scheduled services start on 23 October and are due to operate on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, using a Cessna Grand Caravan C208B with around ten passenger seats. The airline already flies between U-Tapao and Surat Thani.
Why does it matter for a two-centre trip?
Hua Hin and Pattaya face each other across the Gulf of Thailand, but by road the journey runs around the top of the gulf. A short flight lets a client pair Pattaya's beaches and nightlife with Hua Hin's quieter royal-resort coast in one trip. Our Hua Hin and Pattaya guides cover both, and our briefing on Hua Hin airport covers its other flights.
What should agents check before booking?
With about ten seats, the aircraft suits couples and small parties, not groups. Confirm the baggage allowance and any weight limits with the airline before selling, because cabin space on an aircraft this size is limited. The flights run four days a week, so match the travel day to the schedule, and reconfirm close to departure, since timetables on new regional routes can change.
What if the flight does not fit?
For larger groups or other days, a private road transfer between the two resorts remains the dependable option. A Thailand DMC can hold hotels at both ends and switch between air and road without rebuilding the trip. Our transport team plans either, and every other service is on our Thailand DMC services page.
