Passenger growth still +5.5% YoY
FY2013 numbers are coming out fast and furious over the past week, and I’ll show the results of a few co’s that are relevent to the news we read about Thailand today.
So here are the facts about travellers, even though we’ve had protests and continuous negative news in the media, traveller numbers to AOT’s airports are still up 5.5% YoY for Jan ’14. Though we like to joke that perhaps the politicians flying up to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are boosting the numbers up slightly hahaha. All joking aside, this does go to show that tourism is still alive and well in the rest of Thailand. A quick trip to Suvarnabhumi that other night showed me an airport that was still incredibly full (on the departure side).
