The ongoing development of Hua Hin Airport has been boosted following news the airport is set to receive a further 350 million baht in funding.

 

The additional money will be used to improve safety and infrastructure at the airport ahead of the arrival of more international flights flying directly to Hua Hin.

 

Mr. Udorn Olsson, special advisor to the Ministry of Transport, revealed on Friday (June 10) that he had met with representatives from all key sectors to track the progress of the initial 250 million baht budget to widen Hua Hin Airport’s runway.

 

Mr. Udorn said the Ministry of Transport has agreed to spend an additional 350 million baht budget to improve safety in accordance with international standards set by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT).

It does not matter. They have already spent a fortune on the HH airport over the years. It is perfectly adequate, as a regional hub. So, why is it not being used? My guess is this has nothing to do with Air Asia, and everything to do with the Thai authorities. Air Asia has been interested in using Hua Hin as a regional hub, for years now, and all they have ever gotten is neanderthal style foot dragging from the officials here. Hua Hin Airport is one of the least utilized airports in Thailand, possibly even in the world. Shame on these guys. They can do so much better. Thailand desperately needs more regional airports, especially within a few hours of Bangkok. Anything to ease congestion, and save souls from the nightmare of getting in and out of Bangkok has to be a good thing for the nation and it's people. Shame. Shame.

 

“We will begin by growing the flight base at Hua Hin Airport with a focus on international destinations, and domestic travel and our numbers will take time to grow.  We will get started immediately working with the town and recruit local businesses to participate in our new programs, Open to the World and LIVE-LEARN-WORK-PLAY, in Hua Hin,” Laroche said.

 

And so? When? How? Why not? Why is this taking so many years? What is really going on here?
