The opening of this private terminal is another factor that would increase the confidence among tourists who travel by private jets. The end-to-end services at the terminal meet the international standards for safety and security but at the same time are faster and more convenient and will impress tourists as they step foot in Thailand, particularly at Phuket which is a dream destination for tourists worldwide.
