The Prime Minister aims to propel Thailand towards becoming a regional aviation hub, with the goal of ranking among the top 20 airports in the world by 2029. This project focuses on investing in infrastructure, expanding runways, enhancing management efficiency, and improving safety systems to meet the FAA CAT1 standards of the United States.

The "Thailand Vision 8: IGNITE Thailand" project aims to develop Thailand's airports into the regional aviation hub. To achieve this, the Ministry of Transport has laid out a comprehensive plan to enhance air transport efficiency in accordance with FAA CAT1 standards.  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.
