Nan Nakhon Airport[3] (IATA: NNT, ICAO: VTCN) is in Pha Sing subdistrict, Mueang Nan district, Nan province in Northern Thailand. Flights are only offered to Bangkok (DMK).
In 2014, a new terminal was built further down the airport road replacing the old terminal, but using the existing runway. Upon arrival and departure, passengers are required to walk to the terminal or the plane, as there are no jet bridges.
Naming
[edit]On 15 February 2015, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn went to the opening ceremony of the new terminal. During this occasion, she gave the name of "Nan Nakhon Airport" which means "the airport of Nan province".[4]
