Residents claim that the idea of Chiang Mai International Airport opening around-the-clock will disrupt their ability to sleep due to the constant plane sound in their homes.

At a public reading held on Sunday for people in areas close to the airport in the Muang city of Chiang Mai’s tambon Mae Hia, their opposition was expressed.

The Mae Hia metropolitan auditorium’s Thanawat Yodjai and Chiang Mai aircraft director Wg Cdr. Ronnakorn Chalermsanyakor accompanied the reading. In addition, & nbsp,

The majority of conference attendees objected to the plan to keep the aircraft open 24 hours, which was tentatively scheduled to start on November 1. & nbsp,

They bemoaned the fact that the airport was now operating 18 hours a day and that they were already troubled plenty. Some claim that sound pollution and noise from aircraft taking off and getting interfere with their ability to rest. According to the website, roof stones on homes were damaged as a result of the noise.

The locals claimed that if the aircraft ran nonstop, they would be unable to imagine how much longer they may put up with. & nbsp,

Additionally, the sorrow they have already experienced has not been properly made up for.

In order to deal with the province’s growing weather traffic, which is seeing a post-pandemic uptick in tourism and the forthcoming start of the tourism season next quarter, the aircraft wants to increase procedures to 24 hours. & nbsp,

According to Wg Cdr. Ronnakorn, the Chiang Mai airport oversees 150 flights per day, 115 of which are local and the remaining worldwide. & nbsp,

There will be planes to replace early-morning slots once the aircraft begins operating continuously, he said.

Wg Cdr Ronnakorn assured the crowd that the problems they are worried about would be resolved quickly. Airport executives may receive comments and suggestions from the Sunday hearing for review.

Residents of tambon Suthep, who likewise reside close to the airport, are participating in another open hearing on the matter immediately.
