'''Phuket International Airport''' {{airport codes|HKT|VTSP}} is an [[international airport]] serving the island province of [[Phuket]] in [[southern Thailand]]. It is located {{cvt|32|km}} north of the city of [[Phuket (city)|Phuket]] in the Mai Khao subdistrict of [[Thalang district]]. The airport plays a major role in Thailand's tourism industry, as Phuket is a popular resort destination. It is the [[List of the busiest airports in Thailand|third-busiest airport in Thailand]] in terms of passengers, after [[Suvarnabhumi Airport]] and [[Don Mueang International Airport]] in the [[Bangkok Metropolitan Region]]. The airport set a record of 15.1 million arrivals and departures in 2016, up 17.8 percent from 2015.<ref name=phuketfig13>{{Cite news| title = Thailand, Singapore seen as top expat locations| publisher = Investvine.com| date = 7 February 2013| url = http://investvine.com/thailand-singapore-seen-as-top-expat-locations| access-date = 19 February 2013| archive-date = 11 February 2013| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130211123240/http://investvine.com/thailand-singapore-seen-as-top-expat-locations/| url-status = dead}}</ref>

Phuket International Airport features three distinct terminals to manage its air traffic. Terminal 2 is designated for international flights, while Terminal 3 handles domestic flights. Terminal X, specifically intended for charter flights, was opened in February 2014.

To accommodate increasing passenger traffic, Phuket International Airport underwent a significant expansion and renovation project, which was completed in 2016 at a cost of 5.14 billion baht.<ref name="BP-20160201">{{cite news|last1=Kositchotethana|first1=Boonsong|title=AoT airports set new record in passenger traffic|url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/transport/846712/aot-airports-set-new-record-in-passenger-traffic|access-date=1 February 2016|work=Bangkok Post|date=2016-02-01}}</ref> This expansion of the new international terminal increased its capacity to handle 12.5 million passengers annually.<ref name="BP-20160204">{{cite news|last1=Kositchotethana|first1=Boonsong|title=New terminal in Phuket set for test run|url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/business/tourism-and-transport/851148/new-terminal-in-phuket-set-for-test-run|access-date=4 February 2016|work=Bangkok Post|date=2016-02-04}}</ref> Overall, the expansion enhanced the airport's total capacity from 6.5 million to 20 million passengers per year.<ref>{{Cite news | title = Phuket Magazine | url = http://www.phuketmagazine.com/phukets-airport-expansion-set-to-start-in-november/ | access-date = 11 December 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120415032602/http://www.phuketmagazine.com/phukets-airport-expansion-set-to-start-in-november/ | archive-date = 15 April 2012 | url-status = dead | df = dmy-all }}</ref>

In light of the airport's congestion and limited space for further expansion, a proposal for a rail link from [[Krabi International Airport]], an alternate location, was put forward in 2012. This suggestion aimed to alleviate the growing traffic and logistical challenges faced by Phuket Airport.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://phuketwan.com/tourism/fly-rail-link-krabi-aims-save-phuket-tourism-choking-death-15531/ |title=Fly-Rail Link to 'Save Phuket Tourism' - Phuket Wan |access-date=12 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325135428/http://phuketwan.com/tourism/fly-rail-link-krabi-aims-save-phuket-tourism-choking-death-15531/ |archive-date=25 March 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

==Future==
{{main|Phang Nga airport}}

A proposal for a new international airport has been put forward, aimed at serving three provinces: [[Phang Nga Province|Phang Nga]], [[Phuket Province|Phuket]], and [[Krabi Province|Krabi]]. The construction of this airport is planned to be carried out in two phases. The first phase of the project was anticipated to be completed by 2025, but in 2022, the entire proposal was put on hold. The new airport was intended to function as an alternative to the existing Phuket and Krabi airports, offering additional capacity and potentially alleviating air traffic congestion in the region.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Phang Nga - Andaman International Airport New Airport Profile {{!}} CAPA |url=https://centreforaviation.com/data/profiles/newairports/phang-nga---andaman-international-airport |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=centreforaviation.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=» New airport planned for Phangnga to serve southern tourism |url=https://thaiembdc.org/2019/08/14/new-airport-planned-for-phangnga-to-serve-southern-tourism/ |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=thaiembdc.org |archive-date=8 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221208061345/https://thaiembdc.org/2019/08/14/new-airport-planned-for-phangnga-to-serve-southern-tourism/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Com |first=The Phuket News |date=2019-11-26 |title=Phuket News: Deputy PM makes push for 'Phuket Airport No 2', in Phang Nga |url=https://www.thephuketnews.com/deputy-pm-makes-push-for-phuket-airport-no-2-in-phang-nga-73382.php |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=The Phuket News Com |language=en}}</ref>
