Phuket International Airport

It is located 32 km (20 mi) north of downtown Phuket in the Mai Khao subdistrict of Thalang district.

The airport plays a major role in Thailand's tourism industry, as Phuket is a popular resort destination.

To accommodate increasing passenger traffic, Phuket International Airport underwent a significant expansion and renovation project, which was completed in 2016 at a cost of 5.14 billion baht.

This suggestion aimed to alleviate the growing traffic and logistical challenges faced by Phuket Airport.

[7] A proposal for a new international airport has been put forward, aimed at serving three provinces: Phang Nga, Phuket, and Krabi.
