It can bring wealth to nations since each time of transport, it moves human resources, capital, goods and services and knowledge all over the world. The drivers in this industry are passengers, airlines, airports and aircraft producers. Among these factors, Thailand chooses to play in airport market because the country can take advantage of geographic location that is suitable for connectivity. Within many potential countries that can act as an aviation hub, Thailand is therefore the one that has the opportunities to serve the industry as an aviation hub in South East Asia region.
