The goal is for Thai airports to handle 170 million passengers and one million flights per year, securing a position among the top 20 globally by 2029.
This development is expected to attract tourists, businesspeople, and investors interested in building businesses to support the increased number of passengers.Enhancing airport capacity not only aims to boost tourism but also seeks to improve the quality of life for citizens by creating jobs and fostering related service industries within the tourism sector. This initiative will help distribute wealth more effectively while preparing the country for long-term trade and investment opportunities.
