Phuket Airport Reopens After Warning Lifted
12th Apr 2012
Phuket International Airport reopened on Wednesday after the government lifted a tsunami warning on 6 of the country's West coast provinces, an official said.
The airport in the southern Thai island, a popular destination for foreign tourists, was shut down and all flights diverted to nearly Krabi and Bangkok.
Following the earthquake, representatives of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) assisted tourists in moving from beachfront hotels and provided alternative rooms at Phuket International Airport for stranded tourists. Alternative charter flights were also provided by the airport.
The government lifted the warning on Wednesday night after tsunami experts determined there was no longer a danger after a powerful earthquake and aftershocks off the coast of Indonesia.
There was no tsunami wave in Thailand and the early warning system operated well.
