Thailand to Launch Krabi–Phuket Seaplane Service Boosting Andaman Connectivity
In one of the most closely watched latest airline updates, Thailand is moving ahead with its plan under Krabi–Phuket seaplane flights cleared for takeoff in 2026, aiming to launch pilot seaplane services between Krabi and Phuket before the end of 2026. The idea is simple but ambitious—make travel across the Andaman coast faster, easier, and more connected than ever.
This move is not just about aviation planning on paper. Officials have framed it as part of the latest airline updates shaping how tourists and locals will move across southern Thailand in the coming years, especially between major coastal destinations that already see heavy travel demand.
Deputy Transport Minister Phattrapong Phattraprasit has been actively overseeing the plan after inspecting Krabi International Airport and meeting relevant agencies. The focus is clear: upgrade infrastructure, improve connectivity, and prepare for a new type of coastal air travel system.
