Chiang Rai International Airport (IATA: CEI, ICAO: VTCT) is located in the city of Chiang Rai in the northern Thailand.
The airport is located about 8 kilometres from the city centre. Since 1998 it is managed by the Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT).
Access to the airport is available from an access road linking the airport with Paholyothin Road, which leads to the city and towns further north.
The airport handles over 500,000 passengers, 3,900 flights and 2,700 tons of cargo every year.
It consists of a passenger terminal, with both the international* and domestic arrivals and departures on the same level.
Although its name is Chiang Rai International Airport, and even though it has facilities for international flights, it is yet to service any international carriers - but it does handle immigration from THAI flights connecting from international cities (eg. Melbourne - Bangkok - Chiang Rai).
