SiamFlight has recently released their rendition of Chiang Rai International Airport (VTCT) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, serving the provinces of Chiang Rai and Phayao in Thailand with a yearly average of 1.6 million passengers.

It was opened in 1992, built to accommodate 3 million passengers per year and large widebody aircraft (747, 777, 787, A330, and A340). 

There are plans to expand the airport, including an additional taxiway, more shops, and a runway extension. It’s expected to reach completion sometime in 2030.

While the airport had been operating at capacity for a while before the pandemic, the numbers have since plummeted and are still not showing signs of recovery.

Nok Air, Ruili Airlines, Thai AirAsia, Thai Airways International, Thai LionAir, and Thai VietjetAir currently serve the airport.

The scenery features an accurate rendition of the airport, with custom animated jetways, custom ground textures, hand-placed taxiway guidance signs, an up-to-date ground layout, and more.

It’s available on SimMarket for roughly $12.93, requiring at least 311.30 MB of free hard disk space to install.
