Ko Pha Ngan Airport is an airport currently under construction on Ko Pha Ngan, Surat Thani Province, Thailand.[1] It will be the island's first airport.

The airport is being built by Kan Air, a domestic Thai airline, who are reportedly spending 900 million baht[2] on the project.

The airport was scheduled for completion in September 2014. It will provide direct air access to Ko Pha Ngan for the first time. Currently the only transportation routes to Ko Pha Ngan are via ferry and the closest airport is Samui Airport on the larger Ko Samui to the south. As of December 2014, the airport is not yet operational.

Kan Air plans to introduce regular flights between Bangkok's Don Mueang International Airport and Ko Pha Ngan. The site for the airport, with a 1,100-metre runway and thatched-roof terminal, is on the eastern side of the island.

Ko Pha Ngan Airport will be open to other operators, with the same parking and landing fees as at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
