Suvarnabhumi Airport to open new SAT-1 terminal on 28 September 2023
Airports of Thailand (AOT) plan to strengthen Suvarnabhumi Airport’s position as a regional aviation hub. Phase Two would raise the airport’s capacity to 65 million passengers a year and would be undertaken in parallel with the construction of a new domestic terminal.The new domestic terminal will be intended to accommodate more than 30 million passengers annually.
The two expansion projects are part of the overall airport enlargement that would see Suvarnabhumi raise its annual passenger handling capacity to 125 million passengers, 90 million international and 35 million domestic passengers by 2024
The expansion includes the construction of one additional runway of 3,700 metres (12,100 ft), subsequent enlargement of domestic and international terminals, and improvements to parking bays, car parks, and other airport infrastructure.
In March 2024 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said the third runway would open in October 2024, with a long-term target capacity of 150 million passengers.
