Phuket Airport’s domestic terminal will be closed for renovation for about a year, according to Monrudee Gettuphan, the airport’s director. Because construction activity and related congestion may cause delays, passengers intending travel on domestic flights are advised to arrive at the airport earlier than usual.
Earlier this year, the airport opened its new international terminal, boosting airport capacity to 12.5 million visitors annually. The renovation will address increased passenger flow and the growing number of holiday travelers visiting the Kingdom.
