History

Loei Airport was originally located in a temporary location of eight kilometers southwest from the city. After 12 years of planning by Governor Thian Kerdperch who wished to moved the airport to the outskirts of Loei, in December 1954 Loei airport had opened. From 1968 to 1972, the government purchased more land in order to construct a fire department, a larger apron, and the installation of navigational aids. In the past, the airfield was served by Andaman Air, Nok Air, AirAsia, Happy Air, Thai Smile Airways and Solar Air. Only Nok Air and AirAsia currently operates there. ^[1]

Transportation

Currently, Loei Airport’s way of exit and entry is served by rental-car booths, tuk-tuks and taxis. ^[2]
