Nok Air to operate All Services from Old Don Muang Airport from 25 March 2007

Despite calls from many airlines, experienced travel industry professionals, and airline organisations not to operate two major airports simultaneously in Bangkok, Nok Air, a low cost Thailand-based airline, has confirmed that it will relocate from the high-tech new Suvarnabhumi Airport in the South of Bangkok to the old Don Muang Airport in the North. All the airline's flights will operate in and out of Don Muang airport from 25 March 2007.

Nok Air’s airport office will be located at the Domestic Terminal, Don Muang airport, with eight check-in counters, counter number 27 to 34.
