Andaman provinces appeal to continue Phang-nga Airport study amid fears of overcrowding

[webfact]

 

The Joint Public and Private Sector Consultative Committee (JPPSCC) spanning the Andaman provinces appealed to Airports of Thailand (AoT) to ensure the continuation of its feasibility study on the proposed Phang-nga Airport.

 

Previously, a discussion between the JPPSCC across the provinces of Krabi, Trang, Phang-nga, Phuket, Ranong, Satun, and Phuket Airport took place concerning the same issue. As a result of an August 2022 Cabinet resolution urging AoT to manage Udon Thani, Buri Ram, and Krabi international airports, the Phang-nga airport project was put on hold.

 

The deputy director of Phuket Airport, Jaran Pandang, stated that the policy, planning and budget committee of AoT had decided to delay the plan for the construction of Phang-nga Airport in light of the government’s decision.
