Surin Airport

Surin Bhakdi Airport (IATA: PXR, ICAO: VTUJ) is in Surin Province, 450 kilometers from Bangkok and 50 kilometers from the Cambodian border. It is the only airport in Thailand to be owned by a local government, i.e., the Surin Provincial Administrative Organisation, and is operated by the Department of Civil Aviation.

The airport was open from 2002 to 2003 when the now defunct Air Andaman was the sole airline operating there, and reopened in 2013.[1] The airport is served by Nok Air.
