Airports can be classified according to the types of flights they accommodate. There are two main categories:[3]
International airports: Serve regular international flights and operate 24/7. HaveICAO-standard customs and immigration services, as well as ground facilities for handling passengers, cargo, and mail. Can be classified into two types based on their capacity:
Primary international airports: Provide regular facilities and services for international flights.
Secondary international airports: Provide limited facilities and services for international flights.
Domestic/National airports: Cater exclusively to domestic flights, without international flights.
TheCivil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has classified Thailand airports into four categories based on their location in large cities and passenger traffic. The four categories are as follows:[4]
Primary hub airports: These airports have a passenger traffic of over 25 million per year and are located in Bangkok. They are the main hubs of transport and connectivity in Thailand and offer a wide range of facilities and services for both domestic and international flights.
Secondary hub airports: These airports have a passenger traffic between 5 and 25 million per year and are located in popular tourist destinations. They offer a range of facilities and services for both domestic and international flights, but with fewer options than primary hub airports.
Regional airports: These airports have a passenger traffic between 1 and 5 million per year and are located in smaller cities or popular tourist destinations. They offer limited facilities and services for both domestic and international flights.
Local airports: These airports have a passenger traffic of less than 1 million per year and are located in small towns or remote areas. They offer very limited facilities and services for domestic flights only.
