Welcome to Samui Airport. There are many airports in picturesque
exotic locations around the world, but Samui airport holds the crown
as the most beautiful and the best designed in tune with its
gorgeous natural surroundings.
Samui Airport is privately owned and operated by Bangkok Airways.
Most flights from the island are operated by Bangkok Airways. Thai
Airways international began flights to Samui in February 2008.
Samui Airport, located at the northern part of the island near Bo
Phut Beach, began construction 1982 and was officially opened in
April 1989.
Thai Airways International (THAI) launched twice-daily
flights between Bangkok and Samui Island, targeting European
tourists making stopovers in the capital. The daily flights
began on February 14th, 2008 using Boeing 737-400 airplanes with
a capacity of 149 passengers.
Bangkok Airways, the country's largest privately owned
carrier, plans to turn Samui Airport into a second international
air hub after Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport in the next one or
two years.
The airline would launch more direct international flights
for medium-haul routes through the small resort airport. The
plan falls under Bangkok Airways' growth plan and the mandate of
the Samui Property Fund. Also in the pipeline are plans to offer
direct flights from Samui to Dubai, Shanghai, Bali, and Kuala
Lumpur. The airline already has scheduled flights to Hong Kong
and Singapore.
