Betong Airport in the southern province of Yala should be open for services by December, Deputy Transport Minister Thaworn Senneam said on Friday (September 11).

 

Now that the airport’s construction has been completed, the authorities are running tests ahead of applying for operating licence and installing related aviation systems. The minister added that he will discuss the airport’s opening with related agencies, including the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, to ensure all remaining work is completed in the next two months.

Betong has always been a pain to get to - sometimes on purpose, because past governments wanted to isolate the communists who were using it as a base, and more recently just because it's far from everywhere. An airport will really help people get in and out of the place without spending hours and hours on twisty roads.
