Plans

is budgeting 220 billion baht in 2018 for the creation of two new airports and the expansion of four existing airports owned by the Department of Airports. Tak Airport is one of the four slated for expansion and AOT management. AOT intends to build Chiang Mai 2 in Lamphun Province and Phuket Airport 2 in Phang Nga Province. In the 2018 plan, the three other existing airports to be managed by AOT are Chumphon Airport, Sakon Nakhon Airport, and Udon Thani International Airport. In 2019, the plan changed to hire AOT to manage Tak, Udon Thani and Buriram airports, but DOA still remain the ownership of them, and leaving Sakon Nakhon and Chumphon airports to the DOA. With the AOT management, Tak Airport will be a cargo airport, mainly focusing on air freight, due to lack of passengers in the area. As of 2020, the plan is still not active.
