Thai Vacates Don Muang

Thai Airways International no longer serves Bangkok's Don Muang Airport, following the move of all flights to Suvarnabhumi late last month. Suvarnabhumi was constructed to replace Don Muang, but quickly met capacity and had runway problems. As a result, the old airport reopened just six months after its initial closing to serve domestic flights.

Thai had opposed reopening the airport because it wanted a single hub, but transferred most domestic flights back in response to low-fare airlines moving back to Don Muang. Now Thai is again moving those flights back to Suvarnabhumi, citing $1.2 million in annual losses from flying from Don Muang due to losing domestic-to-international passenger traffic.
