The Don Muang Airport is moving its domestic flight operation to the revamped Terminal 1 starting August 1 as it is believed to be more efficient and can facilitate some 16 million passengers per year.

The Airports of Thailand's Don Muang Airport Director Wing Commander Pratheep Wichittho said that the 13-million baht revamp of Don Muang's Terminal 1 has been completed and domestic flight operation will be moved to the renovated terminal starting August 1.

The terminal's efficiency has been increased by 40 percent.

It can now accommodate 16 million people per year as opposed to the 11 million passengers in the old terminal.

The third floor of Don Muang's Terminal 1 will be used for departures while the first floor for arrivals. Both international and domestic flight passengers are able to access the arrival and departure lobby.

The Don Muang director is confident the revamp will increase passenger traffic to four million from the current 2.5 million.

For the domestic terminal, the AOT plans to use the free zones to hold various events and exhibitions to generate additional revenue since it is currently operating at a deficit of 50 million baht per year.

Nok Air will be the first flight taking off from the upgraded terminal at 6 A.M. en route to Nakhon Ratchasima Province while Orient Thai Airlines will depart at 7:40 A.M. to Trang Province.
