Bangkok Don Mueang becomes world’s largest LCC airport, overtaking KLIA, Barcelona & Las Vegas

Analysis

Bangkok Don Mueang saw passenger traffic surge by 50% in 1H2015, enabling it to become the world's largest LCC airport. Don Mueang has overtaken Kuala Lumpur International (KLIA), which was until recently Asia's largest LCC airport, as well European LCC airport leader Barcelona El Prat and North American LCC airport leader Las Vegas McCarran.

Don Mueang is unlikely to relinquish its new title as Thailand's three main LCC groups continue to pursue rapid expansion. Thailand's LCC fleet is expected to surpass 100 aircraft by the end of 2015.
