Thai domestic airlines operating out of U-Tapao-Rayong-Pattaya International Airport, as all flights have been cancelled until at least 31 January, 2021.
The move is in line with the Royal Thai Government’s latest announcement on 6 January, 2021, to tighten COVID-19 control measures in five of the country’s most at-risk provinces, including Chon Buri and Rayong where the airport is located.
The measures include strict screening at all points of entry and exit, and essentially stop domestic travel to and from the Airport until at least the end of January, or until the COVID-19 situation in the area improves.
