PHUKET: -- Phuket International Airport has started using its “X-Terminal” to help alleviate long queues of tourists waiting to clear security and check in to board their outbound international flights.

 

The X-Terminal opened on Feb 5, 2014 and was built at a cost of B151 million to expressly serve tourists arriving and departing on charter flights. 

“We are now using the terminal as an extra check-in point to solve long queues for charter flights for the Chinese New Year holidays,” Phuket International Airport Director Monrudee Gettuphan told The Phuket News.

 

The outbound international tourist to benefit from the X-terminal check-in were 336 passengers on board Azur Air Flight ZF7732 from Phuket to Moscow, which took off at 1:45 pm yesterday (Jan 31).
