Thailand’s Airports of Thailand (AOT) has launched a large-scale property development strategy around six key airports to attract private investment and boost the national economy.
The plan opens 46 land plots totalling 2,512 rai (623 acres) for long-term lease, aiming to create new commercial zones near Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Mae Fah Luang, Chiang Rai, Phuket, and Hat Yai airports. The proposed developments include logistics centres, hotels, shopping complexes, hospitals, and smart city projects. AOT is targeting over THB28.8 billion in investment, offering both Crown and freehold land under competitive rental terms.
AOT has highlighted the initiative as essential to increasing non-aviation revenue and supporting Thailand’s goal of becoming a regional aviation hub. Investors were encouraged to plan sustainable, market-aligned projects to benefit local economies and strengthen airport-linked urban growth.
