Chiang Mai Airport

Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), the fourth busiest airport in Thailand, services Northern Thailand. Mere 4 kilometers southwest of Chiang Mai's city center, the airport serves as a critical connector to numerous local and international places.

CNX has witnessed significant growth in passenger traffic of over 11 million (pre-COVID) owing to the rising popularity of Northern Thailand's cultural attractions. As a result, it acts as a vital economic driver for the region by fostering tourism and local business needs.

Within its total 60,000 square meter space, the airport accommodates two terminals - Terminal 1 for international flights and Terminal 2 for domestic ones. It houses a single runway equipped to facilitate wide-body aircraft. The modern terminals display a mix of current facilities and the traditional Lanna architectural design.

Chiang Mai International Airport is serviced by significant airlines including Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, and Air Asia, linking Chiang Mai to regional centers like Bangkok, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur. The airport also provides direct flights to multiple Chinese cities and seasonal flights to South Korea and Japan.
