Overview
Sukhothai Airport (VTPO / THS) sits in Thailand, where it functions as a mid-sized airport. The airport sits 179 feet above sea level. Alongside scheduled airline service, the airport handles a steady flow of private and charter traffic.
No charter operator is headquartered on the field, but operators routinely position aircraft into THS for departures. When weather or ramp space demands it, nearby options are Phitsanulok Airport (PHS, 38 nm), Tak Airport (TKT, 38 nm), and Phrae Airport (PRH, 57 nm). With a single 6,890-foot paved runway, THS can typically accommodate aircraft as large as VIP airliners.
Charter pricing from THS depends on aircraft category, positioning distance, and trip timing. Compare rated operators or run a route through the cost estimator to gauge pricing from THS.
