Thailand will facilitate 14,180 domestic and international flights over the Songkran holidays, from today until April 17, according to the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai). This represents a 66% increase in flights compared with the same period last year.

On average, there will be 2,026 flights per day, Aerothai President Nopposit Chakrapitak revealed yesterday. The president said Thailand’s aviation industry is heading in a positive direction, with an average of 2,000 flights per day, which will increase to 2,026 per day during the Thai New Year holidays.

Even during Songkran, flight frequency still isn’t hitting pre-pandemic figures, when Aerothai provided air traffic services to up to 3,000 domestic and international flights per day.

 

Therefore, Aerothai is more than ready to handle the increase in flights for the Songkran Festival and has made several preparations to prevent delays and ensure that things run smoothly.
