Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai International Airport has reopened and will be operational on Friday, with four inbound and four outbound flights. Due to severe flooding, the airports of Thailand (AoT) recommend that passengers allocate up to five hours for their journey to the terminal.
AoT reports that Thai Airways International, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air, and Thai AirAsia will provide four flights from Bangkok to Chiang Rai province and four return flights. Thai VietJet has not yet verified its operations for Friday.
It’s recommended that passengers consult their airlines for the most recent flight information.
On Thursday, all airlines cancelled flights to Chiang Rai due to inundated roads, leaving passengers stranded at the airport despite its operational status.
Airport officials advise against using small vehicles to access the terminal due to the high water levels and the limited transportation options.
