Chiang Mai International Airport (IATA: CNX, ICAO: VTCC) is an international airportinSuthep subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Mai district, Chiang Mai provinceinnorthern Thailand. It is a major gateway that links northern Thailand to the rest of the region, and currently the fourth-busiest airport in the country. It is managed by Airports of Thailand.
The airport was established in 1921 as Suthep Airport.[3]
As a result of the temporary closure of Suvarnabhumi Airport in 2008 due to the protests, Chiang Mai became the alternative stop-over for China Airlines' Taipei-Europe flights and for Swiss International Air Lines' Singapore-Zurich flights in the interim. On 24 January 2011, the airport became a secondary hub for Thai AirAsia.[4] The China Airlines flights are now regular flights.
Upgrades in 2014 included expanding the apron for larger planes, extending operating hours to 24/7 (effective April 2014), and enlarging the international arrival hall and domestic departure hall.[5]
The Airports of Thailand expanded the terminal with upgrades in 2014 including expansion of the apron for larger planes, extending operating hours to 24/7 (effective April 2014), and enlarging the international arrival hall and domestic departure hall.[5] As of 2018, 31 airlines operated at CNX, serving 11 million passengers, 78,210 flights and 14,612 tonnes of cargo.[6]
The airport is at an elevation of 316 metres (1,037 ft) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 18/36 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,100 by 45 metres (10,171 ft × 148 ft).[7] There are two terminals, one for domestic passengers and the other for international flights.[citation needed]
