'''Chiang Mai International Airport''' {{airport codes|CNX|VTCC}} is an [[international airport]] in [[Suthep]] subdistrict, [[Mueang Chiang Mai district]], [[Chiang Mai province]] in [[northern Thailand]]. It is a major gateway that links northern Thailand to the rest of the region and is currently the [[List of the busiest airports in Thailand|fourth-busiest airport in the country]]. It is managed by [[Airports of Thailand]].

==History==
[[File:DGJ 4461 (3742270049).jpg|thumb|Front of Chiang Mai International Airport]]
[[File:ChiangmaiAirport-1.JPG|thumb|Chiang Mai Airport International Departure Hall]]
[[File:LAO AIRLINES FLIGHT QV615 CHIANG MAI THAILAND TO LUANG PRABANG LAOS ATR72-500 RDPL34176 FEB 2012 (6869587504).jpg|thumb|Airplanes at Chiang Mai International Airport]]

The airport began operations in 1934 as '''Suthep Airport''',<ref>[https://chiangmai.airportthai.co.th/about-us ประวัติความเป็นมา]</ref> after it developed as an [[Aerodrome|airstrip]] in the early 1920s. Until [[World War II|World War Two]], it was used mainly for postal delivery services, with some [[Royal Thai Air Force|military]] use. During the war, it was used by the occupying [[Imperial Japanese Army Air Service|Japanese forces]], and was hence attacked by [[Royal Air Force|British]] and [[United States Air Force|US air forces]].<ref name=alacarte>[https://www.chiangmai-alacarte.com/chiang-mai-international-airport/ The Chiang Mai International Airport], Chiang Mai a la Carte Tour</ref>

The first scheduled passenger flight to Chiang Mai arrived in 1947, with the foundation of [[Siamese Airways]]. At this time and until the late 1950s the [[runway]] surface was still grass or dirt, with very few support buildings.<ref name=alacarte/> 

[[Airports of Thailand]] expanded the terminal with upgrades in 2014 including expansion of the [[Airport apron|apron]] for larger planes, extending operating hours to 24/7 (effective April 2014), and enlarging the international arrival hall and domestic departure hall.<ref name="expands">{{cite web |url=http://www.ttrweekly.com/site/2014/01/aot-expands-chiang-mai-airport/ |title=AoT expands Chiang Mai airport : TTR Weekly |access-date=14 November 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117023926/http://www.ttrweekly.com/site/2014/01/aot-expands-chiang-mai-airport/ |archive-date=17 November 2015 }}</ref> As of 2018, 31 airlines operated at CNX, serving 11 million passengers, 78,210 flights and 14,612 tonnes of [[cargo]].<ref name=AOT>{{cite web|title=Air Transport Statistic|url=https://www.airportthai.co.th/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Annual-Airport-2018.pdf|website=Airports of Thailand PLC (AOT)|access-date=25 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141207204925/http://airportthai.co.th/main/en/1115-air-transport-statistic|archive-date=7 December 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

As a result of the temporary closure of [[Suvarnabhumi Airport]] in 2008 due to the [[2008 Thai political crisis|protests]], Chiang Mai was used as an alternative stopover for [[China Airlines]] flights between Taipei and Europe and for [[Swiss International Air Lines]]' Singapore-Zurich flights. On 24 January 2011, the airport became a [[airline hub|secondary hub]] for [[Thai AirAsia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/AirAsiaopensnewhubinChiangMai/Article/ |title=AirAsia opens new hub in Chiang Mai |access-date=18 November 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124213255/http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/AirAsiaopensnewhubinChiangMai/Article |archive-date=24 November 2010 }}</ref> China Airlines subsequently regularised the stopover.

==Facilities==
The airport is at an elevation of {{convert|316|m|0}} above [[mean sea level]]. It has one [[runway]] designated 18/36 with an [[Asphalt concrete|asphalt]] surface measuring {{convert|3100|x|45|m|0}}.<ref name="WAD">{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230109/http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?airport=VTCC Airport information for VTCC]}} from [[DAFIF]] (effective Oct 2006)</ref> There are two terminals, one for domestic passengers and the other for international flights.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}
