Don Mueang to reopen terminal 2 on Christmas Eve
In this article (5)
Don Mueang International Airport, Bangkok’s hub for low-cost airlines, will reopen its newly renovated Terminal 2 for domestic flights on Christmas Eve.
Due to the popularity of the budget airline service, Terminal 2 was put into renovation to improve the situation and to also ease the crunch on low-cost flyers. It is expected to serve up to 70% of domestic travel during the New Year holiday.
Terminal 1 will continue to serve international flights but will soon undergo renovation as well.
Don Mueang was initially closed down when Suvarnabhumi Airport was opened, but after Suvarnabhumi experienced overcrowding and service issues, Don Mueang was eventually put back into operation.
Don Mueang now accommodates between 80,000 and 110,000 passengers daily, and the newly added terminal will enlarge capacity from 18.5 million to 30 million passengers annually.
The airport has also recently launched a 33-seat Airport LimoBus Express on Nov. 27 which has free Wi-fi and takes travellers to the city center.
