Deputy Transport Minister Phattrapong Phattraprasit has instructed Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai) to develop an upgraded air traffic management system to support the growth of the country's regional airports and strengthen tourism links across Thailand's lower northern provinces.
Mr Phattrapong said the initiative aims to modernise aviation infrastructure and improve airport services through the adoption of advanced technology.
He said the plan would help turn secondary provinces into stronger tourism destinations while boosting local economies.
