Thailand’s Chiang Mai airport to cut flight operating hours for lantern festival in late November

BANGKOK: Chiang Mai International Airport is preparing for visitors during the 2026 Yi Peng and Loy Krathong festivals after reducing its flight operating hours for safety during sky lantern releases.

The shorter operating window may concentrate flights in certain periods, while the airport is strengthening safety measures and support for arriving and departing passengers.
