The airport is at an elevation of {{convert|82|ft|0}} above [[mean sea level]]. It has one [[runway]] designated 09/27 with an [[asphalt]] surface measuring {{convert|3000|x|45|m|0}}.<ref name=WAD>{{WAD|VTSP|source=[[DAFIF]]}}</ref>


In light of the airport's congestion and limited space for further expansion, a proposal for a rail link from [[Krabi International Airport]], an alternate location, was put forward in 2012. This suggestion aimed to alleviate the growing traffic and logistical challenges faced by Phuket Airport.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://phuketwan.com/tourism/fly-rail-link-krabi-aims-save-phuket-tourism-choking-death-15531/ |title=Fly-Rail Link to 'Save Phuket Tourism' - Phuket Wan |access-date=12 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325135428/http://phuketwan.com/tourism/fly-rail-link-krabi-aims-save-phuket-tourism-choking-death-15531/ |archive-date=25 March 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

A proposal for a new international airport has been put forward, aimed at serving three provinces: [[Phang Nga Province|Phang Nga]], [[Phuket Province|Phuket]], and [[Krabi Province|Krabi]]. The construction of this airport is planned to be carried out in two phases. The first phase of the project was anticipated to be completed by 2025, but in 2022, the entire proposal was put on hold. The new airport was intended to function as an alternative to the existing Phuket and Krabi airports, offering additional capacity and potentially alleviating air traffic congestion in the region.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Phang Nga - Andaman International Airport New Airport Profile {{!}} CAPA |url=https://centreforaviation.com/data/profiles/newairports/phang-nga---andaman-international-airport |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=centreforaviation.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=» New airport planned for Phangnga to serve southern tourism |url=https://thaiembdc.org/2019/08/14/new-airport-planned-for-phangnga-to-serve-southern-tourism/ |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=thaiembdc.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Com |first=The Phuket News |date=2019-11-26 |title=Phuket News: Deputy PM makes push for 'Phuket Airport No 2', in Phang Nga |url=https://www.thephuketnews.com/deputy-pm-makes-push-for-phuket-airport-no-2-in-phang-nga-73382.php |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=The Phuket News Com |language=en}}</ref>

Phuket International Airport (IATA: HKT, ICAO: VTSP) is an international airport serving the island of Phuket and its province in southern Thailand. 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. It is the third-busiest airport in Thailand in terms of passengers, after Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang International Airport in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. The airport set a record of 15.1 million arrivals and departures in 2016, up 17.8 percent from 2015.[3]

Phuket International Airport features three distinct terminals to manage its air traffic. Terminal 2 is designated for international flights, while Terminal 3 handles domestic flights. Terminal X, specifically intended for charter flights, was opened in February 2014.

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.[4] This expansion of the new international terminal increased its capacity to handle 12.5 million passengers annually.[5] Overall, the expansion enhanced the airport's total capacity from 6.5 million to 20 million passengers per year.[6]

In light of the airport's congestion and limited space for further expansion, a proposal for a rail link from Krabi International Airport, an alternate location, was put forward in 2012. This suggestion aimed to alleviate the growing traffic and logistical challenges faced by Phuket Airport.[7]

Future

[edit]

A proposal for a new international airport has been put forward, aimed at serving three provinces: Phang Nga, Phuket, and Krabi. The construction of this airport is planned to be carried out in two phases. The first phase of the project was anticipated to be completed by 2025, but in 2022, the entire proposal was put on hold. The new airport was intended to function as an alternative to the existing Phuket and Krabi airports, offering additional capacity and potentially alleviating air traffic congestion in the region.[8][9][10]

Incidents and accidents

[edit]
  • 15 April 1985: A Thai Airways Company Boeing 737-200 (registered HS-TBB) crashed, killing all 11 people on board. The crew had issued a radio call informing air traffic control that both engines had flamed out. No cause could be determined for the engine shutdown.[100]
  • 31 August 1987: Thai Airways Flight 365, a Boeing 737-200 (registered HS-TBC) from Hat Yai International Airport crashed into the ocean upon final approach, killing all 83 people on board. The investigation determined pilot error as the primary cause.[101]
  • 16 September 2007: One-Two-Go Airlines Flight 269 arriving on a scheduled flight from Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport crashed after hitting the runway while attempting to land in driving rain and severe wind shear. The McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (registered HS-OMG) slid off the runway, split into two, and exploded into flames after an apparent attempt to execute a go-around moments before touchdown. There were 123 passengers and seven crew on board; 89 died and 40 were injured.[citation needed]
