The first phase of the renovated domestic terminal of Phuket International Airport will be ready on November 28, just in time for the tourism high season.

 

During the press conference celebrating the 29th anniversary of the airport, Phuket International Airport General Manager, Petch Chancharoen, revealed that the first phase of the domestic terminal renovations will open its door to welcome passengers for the high season as the construction has been mostly completed and the building is being tested for all systems. The second phase will be handed over to the contractor on the same month and is expected to be completed by June next year.

 

“This coming high season, we have about 300 flights per day landing in Phuket with an estimated 50,000 passengers, every day. There are 52 airlines in the airport, including 8 domestic, 36 international and 8 private airlines. Compared to the number of passengers arriving at the same time last year, we’ll have a 10% increase and we estimate that it will grow by another 7.2% next year as well,” said the General Manager.
