1 Thailand s Aircraft Service and Maintenance Hub

2 THAILAND: Excellent Aircraft Service and Maintenance Hub Aviation activity in Thailand has grown rapidly over the past few decades. Thailand s popularity as an international tourist and even medical tourist destination has kept the sky filled with aircraft from every corner of the globe. Thailand has become a regional a service and maintenance center for refueling, repairing, maintaining and refitting aircraft. As a result, Thailand has become a major player in aircraft maintenance industry. Thailand experienced steady growth of air passengers over the past several years. Air passenger movements in Thailand grew at an average annual rate of 4.4% during In the first quarter of 2012, Suvarnabhumi International Airport one of the major international airports in Thailand was ranked the world s 7th busiest airport in passenger throughput with 14.6 million passengers, a significant increase from its ranking of 16th in It was also ranked 20th in the world for cargo traffic, with 1.3 million metric tons in As cargo and passenger volumes continue to accelerate, investment opportunities in the aircraft maintenance industry are becoming more lucrative.

3 According to The Boeing Company, passenger air travel in the Asia Pacific region grew at the highest rate in the world during the last few decades and is expected to have strong growth this year. Travel volumes in the Asia Pacific region overall are large and are growing rapidly, and currently account for about 27% of global travel. The Boeing Company forecasts air travel for the Asia Pacific region to grow at a compounded average annual rate of 6.9% over the next 20 years. Furthermore, Boeing estimates a market of the Asia-Pacific region of about 8,960 new airplanes worth US$1.13 trillion for the 2009 to 2028 period. Air travel for the Southeast Asia region is projected to grow strongly at a compounded average annual rate of 7.4% from 2010 to Additionally, the Thai government has approved a project to establish an aerospace industrial estate in Thailand as a regional aerospace repair hub. The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) is currently in the process of setting up industrial estates with the Transport Ministry for aerospace repair in Nakhon Ratchasima province. Major Thai airlines include Thai Airways International, Bangkok Airways, Thai AirAsia, Nok Airlines and Orient Thai Airways. More than half of the aviation activity in Thailand is undertaken by these five airlines. Additionally, Thailand s six major international airports enhance the potential growth for the aviation industry.
