AN aircraft maintenance centre may

AN aircraft maintenance centre may be built at the Chiang Rai International Airport in the North to cope with the growth in air travel and tourism in Southeast Asia and China, the Airports of Thailand (AOT) said.

Nitinai Sirismatthakarn, president of AOT, said last week the company was studying the feasibility of building an aircraft heavy-maintenance centre at Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai International Airport, to handle the significant growth in the aviation and tourism industries in the North and the region as a whole.
