Gateway to Thailand's scenic northeastern highlands.
Location
Loei, Thailand
Loei Airport (IATA: LOE, ICAO: VTUL) is a domestic airport serving Loei Province in northeastern Thailand, situated in the mountainous upper region of the country near the Mekong River and the border with Laos. It provides essential air connectivity to a region that is otherwise relatively remote and accessible primarily by road.
The airport is operated by Airports of Thailand (AOT) and handles a modest volume of passengers, primarily traveling between Loei and Bangkok. It serves as an important transport link for locals and tourists visiting the province's national parks, including Phu Kradueng and Phu Rua.
Loei is known for its cool climate relative to the rest of Thailand, and tourism tied to seasonal attractions such as the famous Ghost Festival (Phi Ta Khon) contributes to periodic surges in air travel demand.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to its low-volume domestic traffic.
