Major airports expect over 5.3 million arrivals for Songkran
More than 5 million passengers are expected to arrive at Thailand’s six main airports during the Songkran Festival this year.
Airports of Thailand (AOT) president Nitina Sirisamatthakarn said the AOT expected more than 5.36 million arrivals during the water splash festival, Thai National News Bureau reported on Tuesday.
From April 5-18, the AOT expects 32,357 flights to land at six airports, averaging about 2,312 flights a day, Nitina said.
Inbound flights to these six airports increased by 7.22 per cent compared to the same period last year.
The AOT has prepared measures to assist passengers by keeping the facilities clean, increasing the number of baggage carriers and providing additional shuttle buses from the airport.
A service centre will also be set up and will operate around the clock.
