Samui International Airport (Thai: ท่าอากาศยานสมุย) (IATA: USM, ICAO: VTSM), also known as Ko Samui Airport or Koh Samui Airport, is a privately owned international airport on the island of Ko Samui (Koh Samui) in Thailand. It is located in the island’s Bo Phut subdistrict. The airport is roughly 2 km north of the main city and largest resort centre on the island, Chaweng. It was built by Bangkok Airways. Construction began in 1982 and the airport was officially opened in April 1989.[1]

Facilities

[edit | edit source]

Samui Airport has a unique, open-air design, with the indoor areas being the gift shop, ticket office, toilets, and VIP lounge area. It is also the country's seventh-busiest airport, handling more than a million passengers annually. The airport has domestic and international terminals, and a building for check-in and baggage claim. The international terminal is about 50 metres north of the domestic terminal. Samui Airport is near the Big Buddha Pier, where ferries depart for Ko Pha-ngan. High-speed ferries to Ko Tao and Chumphon depart from the Maenam Beach Pier, approximately 6 km northwest of the airport.

Airlines and destinations

[edit | edit source]

Since the airport is privately owned by Bangkok Airways, it has a near-monopoly on flights.[2] Between 2008 and 2018, Thai Airways International also operated two daily flights from Bangkok.[2] Scoot has also started a Singapore-Koh Samui route operated by the Embraer E190 jet from 13 May 2024.[citation needed]
