BANGKOK, 8 July 2019: Airport passenger movements January to April at Bangkok’s two gateway airports clocked 24,809,157 an increase of 5%.

 

Airports of Thailand that manages six airports in the country released performance summaries for the first four months of the year.

 

Domestic passenger movements at the two Bangkok airports (Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang) totalled 12,579,125 down 1.42% year-on-year.

 

The count that covers passengers arriving and departing on different flights suggests passenger traffic from the Thai capital to domestic destinations softened during the first four months.

 

But the 5% increase in international passenger movements indicated international passenger flows remained positive.

Wonder if this includes 'Transit" passengers who were not actually exiting through Thai Immigration to stay in Thailand.

The phrase ’mixed performance’…describes much of Thailand fairly well.

Nothing positive from a Thai perspective if this 5% is from India.

I wonder if the horizontal departures have also had a 5% increase ????

I have several times flown from Europe to Bangkok and the flights have been full. But I have also several times seen only about 50 people collecting luggage from my flight. Speaks for itself.
