Air passenger through Thailand’s six major airports grew robustly in 2006
Friday, March 9th, 2007Traffic through Thailand’s six major airports grew robustly last year despite concerns that the September coup, teething problems at the new Suvarnabhumi airport and the transition from the old Don Muang airport would all adversely affect tourism.
Total passenger movements embarking, disembarking and transit through the airports operated by Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) rose by 12.6% year-on-year to 53.03 million. The airports are Suvarnabhumi, Don Muang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Chiang Rai.

As the closure of the 92-year-old Don Muang airport last month has dramatically changed the business landscape for hotels situated in its neighbourhood as airport-related business and guests have dried up.
The move of all air services to Suvarnabhumi Airport on Sept 28 has prompted operators in the Don Muang area, such as the Amari Don Muang Hotel (Former: Amari Airport Hotel) , Miracle Grand Convention Hotel Bangkok and Rama Gardens Hotel Bangkok to focus on a new target market.
Surging traffic puts former Bangkok Airport ahead of Hong Kong and Changi
Friday, October 13th, 2006The number of travellers passing through Bangkok rose to 31.46 million from January to September, a 10.76% increase from the same period in 2005, underscoring the capital’s position as a major air hub of Asia.
Air traffic through Bangkok grew robustly in the first nine months of the year as tourism rebounded from the aftermath of the December 2004 tsunami and budget carriers continued to proliferate.
