AIR TRANSPORT STATISTICS
HAT YAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Air Transport Statistics 2007 Hat Yai International Airport
HAT YAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Hat Yai, which is one of the districts in Song Khla province, is the important centers for transport and economic growth of the southern provinces, particularly, the transport of passengers and goods in the three deep southern borderland provinces and between Thailand and the neighboring countries like Malaysia and Singapore. Definitely, the transport of passengers and goods was efficiently provided and facilitated by Hat Yai International Airport.
However, the southern unrest and violent situations, which very often happened in the three deep southern provinces, adversely affected the growth of international air transport operations, except domestic flight operations which still maintained the modest growth of air traffic as a result of low cost carriers? additional flight operations.
Consequently, the 2007 based total number of aircraft and passenger
movements was increased by 11.06 percent of the total aircraft movements and 8.77 percent of the total passenger movements, respectively. Instead, the number of inbound and outbound freight was decreased by 4.17 percent of the total freight movements. The details of the 2007 based air traffic statistics are summarized as follows.

809 international and 10,950 domestic flight movements. The 809 international flight
movements were decreased by 28.22 percent of the total aircraft movements, in that
Tiger Airways had cancelled its international scheduled flight operations between
Singapore and Hat Yai since October 2007, whereas the 10,950 domestic flight
movements were increased by 15.74 percent of the total aircraft movements, because of the addition of low cost carriers? flight operations.
