Nakhon Phanom Airport

Updated 30th Aug 2026

Nakhon Phanom Airport (KOP) is in the Mueang district of Nakhon Phanom province. The Department of Airports operates it.

Which airlines fly to Nakhon Phanom Airport

As of 30 August 2026, Thai AirAsia and Thai Lion Air both appeared on the operator's flight board, and every movement on that board was to or from Bangkok Don Mueang. Thai Lion Air added the route in June 2025.

If you are arriving on a long-haul flight into Suvarnabhumi, that means crossing Bangkok between two separate airports, and that transfer has to be planned in its own right.

The airfield the Seabees built

The airfield was built in 1962 by Seabees of United States Navy Mobile Construction Battalion 3, funded by the Military Assistance Program, and the airfield opened on 1 June 1963.

The runway, the elevation and the 2025 traffic

Nakhon Phanom has one asphalt runway, 15/33, 2,500 metres long. The airport sits 587 feet above sea level.

Published statistics give it 467,583 passengers and 3,237 aircraft movements in 2025.
