Phuket Airport Snubbed - Koh Samui to be the second biggest airport in Thailand
Bangkok Airways, Thailand’s largest privately owned carrier, plans to turn Samui Airport, rather than Phuket International Airport, into a second international air hub, after Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, in the next few years.
According to bangkokbestflights.com, the airline would launch more direct international flights on medium-haul routes from the small resort airport. In the pipeline are plans to offer direct flights from Samui to Dubai, Shanghai, Bali, and Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Bangkok Airways is eager to make Samui Airport its second traffic base to support the airport's new 500-million-baht passenger terminal that was completed early last year.
The new terminal is four times larger than the old one and can handle 16,000 passengers a day. It is intended to cope with surging foreign tourist traffic to the island over the next 10 years.
