Pai airport to be enlarged

The rapid increase of tourism in Mae Hong Son province has prompted the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) to spend Bt20 million to extend the runway at Pai airport, which could then take more flights.

Published on December 2, 2007



DCA's director-general Chaisak Angsuwan said the agency planned to extend the runway of Pai airport from 700 metres to 900 metres and the funding would be approved for next year. He said the plan was to encourage economic growth from the tourism industry in the area.

At present the only airline operating in Pai district is SGA, providing three flights per day from Pai to Chiang Mai.

The company plans to increase the flights this month. Flights would start at Bt1,450 from Chiang Mai to Pai and Bt1,580 from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son.
