BANGKOK, Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Bangkok is served by two airports. Suvarnabhumi Airport, the main gateway to Thailand with 120 international and domestic airlines, remains open. It is operating normally and handling around 76 flights per hour including all scheduled international arrivals and departures.
Suvarnabhumi Airport is also the main connector for international visitor arrivals to transfer to and from domestic flights serving tourist destinations throughout Thailand such as Phuket, Chiang Mai and Surat Thani. All domestic flights are also operating as per usual.
Don Mueang Airport, the old international airport located about 30 km northeast of Suvarnabhumi Airport, has been closed until further notice due to flooding.
