Phuket’s international airport will soon have a new terminal building, officials announced on 18 August. During a news conference held at Central Festival Phuket, Vice Governor Khajornkiet Rakpanichmanee said a new terminal had been planned. No opening date was announced, though it is likely to open in September following tests.
Mrs. Monrudee Gettuphan, director of Phuket International Airport, presented a terminal miniature and said that the facility was finished and ready to accommodate 12.5 million passengers a year, with five million coming from international fights.
