Khon Kaen Airport is expected to handle 5 million passengers a year, starting next month, after its expansion is completed, deputy government spokeswoman Tipanan Sirichana said on Friday.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has expedited airport expansion nationwide in a bid to accommodate the growing number of travellers and consolidate Thailand’s status as a regional hub for aviation and tourism.
Ms Tipanan said the expansion of Khon Kaen airport is part of the eight-year national strategy to improve the Thai transport network, including renovation and construction of parking buildings and passenger terminals under a 2-billion-baht budget cleared by the cabinet in 2017. The car park will be raised from five to seven floors to accommodate up to 1,160 cars.
