Lanna International Airport is a proposed airport in Lamphun Ban Thi, Chiang Mai, Thailand, approximately 25km from Chiang Mai Airport.

Development

Construction of Lanna International Airport is to begin by 2027 and to open by 2032 according to Airports of Thailand (AoT). The airport is expected to serve 20,000,000 passengers annually.

Proposals

In May 2018, the Airports of Thailand’s board approved plans to develop a two new airports at Chiang Mai and Phuket, requiring a cost of 120 billion baht (3.7 billion USD). However, these plans were not pursued due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On September 2023, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin confirmed the construction of the second airport, aimed to ease capacity constraints at the existing Chiang Mai Airport and to increase tourism in the region.

In January 2024, Thailand's Prime Minister visited Chiang Mai to hear a progress report on the airport. By May, AoT President Kirati Kitmanawa announced that the feasibility study of the airport is to be completed by the end of 2024. The feasibility study covers the economic and financial potential, and also the environmental impact of the airport.

Land

40% of the land is already owned by the government, which saves the government 2.5 billion baht in expropriation costs. The Treasury Department would be responsible for expropriating land for the construction in 2027. The airport occupies 6,500 rai of land with a cost of 72 billion baht, with most of the land belonging to private owners.
