Hat Yai Airport is another important airport in the southern region managed by AOT. Located in Songkhla Province, an economic hub of southern Thailand, AOT has designated Hat Yai Airport as the “Gateway to the Southern-most Thailand” due to its role as a key connection point to the five southernmost border provinces and neighboring countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
