An airport on the rise
The Suvarnabhumi airport, which opened in 2006, has undergone considerable development in recent years. Given the increasing number of passengers, the airport's capacity was exceeded, which led to the initiation of the Phase 2 development project. The recently completedMidfield Satellite 1 (SAT-1)will be able to receive more international visitors in the future with 28 contact gates. This new building is connected to the main terminal via a tunnel, which greatly improves travel comfort.
On a total of four floors and two basement levels, SAT-1 offers a variety of facilities such as modern lounges, waiting areas with USB ports, meditation rooms and even prayer rooms. Also exciting is the sustainable architecture, which aims to use natural light for energy efficiency. A perfect place to relax while waiting!

The expansions at Suvarnabhumi Airport are not only necessary, but also long overdue. A master plan to develop the airport by 2035 aims to increase capacity to an incredible 150 million passengers per year. This shows that Thailand still has a lot to do and wants to further establish itself as their leading aviation hub.
In conclusion, Suvarnabhumi Airport was recognized not only for its design and services, but also for its constant development and adaptation to growing demand. The airport operators are showing a good hand for the future – and that is well received by travelers!
