Airport connectivity is one of indicators to evaluate airport performance. Airport connectivity can be define as the airline network of airport, related to frequency of flight and number of flights from origin to destination. Airport with good connectivity is attractive for passengers.

It was found that Phitsanulok airport (PHS) has the highest connectivity unit, with more frequency of flights. Keywords Airport connectivity, Local Airport, NetScan Connectivity Index 1. Introduction Air transportation is one of the important factors of life quality improvement. It plays an important role in the economy and society of the world.

    Ref. No. 15867 29 November 2018 Subject: Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Statements To: President, The Stock Exchange of Thailand Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries Management discussion and analysis of financial statements for the year ended September 30 th , 2018 Overall performance and significant events The overall aviation industry of Thailand during October 2017 - September 2018 has improved comparing to the same period last year. This is in line with growth in the tourism sector. A support from the Thai government on the tourism contributed to such growth. As a consequence, a number of tourists travelling to Thailand increases, especially for Chinese tourists. The rapid expansion of low cost airlines leads to the price competition. This benefits to passengers due to cheaper air fares and the diversity of flight routes. Moreover, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has removed Thailand from the list of significant safety concerns. As a result, Thai airlines can expand its service and increase the number of flights. This is positive to both aviation industry and the overall economy. For the year ended September 30 th , 2018, the air traffic volume from six airports under the Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT) was 874,999 flights, a 6.24% increase comparing to last year. It comprised 462,225 international flights and 412,774 domestic flights. The total number of passengers was 139.52 million, a 7.99% increase comparing to last year. It comprised 80.49 million international passengers and 59.03 million domestic passengers which mainly from the increase in international flights and passengers.

  • Chapter 12 ROAD TRANSPORT in THAILAND
    Chapter 12 ROAD TRANSPORT IN THAILAND Narong Pomlaktong, Rattana Jongwilaiwan, Prakai Theerawattanakul and Rapee Pholpanich 1 Regulatory constraints on regular bus prices encouraged the entry of new competitors in a less regulated part of the market, offering more choice to consumers. Relaxation of quotas as well as infrastructure improvements led to lower prices and higher volumes of cross border road freight. Road transport reform raises significant issues of coordination across agencies. 12.1 INTRODUCTION There are many challenges in road transport policy development in Thailand. Many of the important issues are related to the population in Bangkok. Its size has made it difficult to create a well-designed urban public transportation system that meets the needs of the entire population. Other current domestic road transport issues include too great a focus on mega- projects in urban areas and their associated infrastructure without considering the development of secondary roads, regulation in the market for passenger vans and price distortions such as lack of congestion and pollution charges. Thailand is also working with other economies in the South East Asian region to liberalise cross-border transport and to improve the transportation corridors which link their markets. Transport policy in Thailand has developed in concert with urban development planning. The first four development plans by the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB plans) from 1963 to 1981 aimed at accelerating economic growth by emphasising utility infrastructure development, including electricity, water, transport, educational institutions and public health. Besides this, the plans focused on export-led and import- substitution industrialisation. The government, therefore, allocated a large amount of its budget to transport, energy and irrigation.
