One of the busiest airports in Asia, with more than 45 million passengers per year.
Thailand's new international airport, Suvarnabhumi Airport (meaning "The Golden Land"), is located 25km east of downtown Bangkok. The airport, which opened in September 2006, can support 76 flights per hour. The airport's Passenger Terminal Complex, comprising seven floors and two basements, is the third largest in the world.
