Suvarnabhumi Airport

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is Southeast Asia's primary long-haul gateway, connecting Bangkok to over 90 countries and anchoring the region's aviation network. This metal print maps that reach precisely — drawn from real ADS-B flight tracking data. Every path is colorized by altitude, rendered across your chosen palette.

This print captures all 1,062 flights recorded on January 9, 2025 — the 23rd anniversary of groundbreaking for this landmark airport project. Printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel, it is a piece of aviation wall art that holds one of Bangkok's most consequential dates in light and data.

Peak Hour Flights

ADS-B radar data for Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK/VTBS) was captured on January 9, 2025, the 23rd anniversary of the airport's groundbreaking. The dataset covers a full 24-hour period in the Asia/Bangkok timezone (+07) and recorded 1,062 total movements across 425 unique aircraft, split nearly evenly between 525 arrivals and 536 departures, with one touch-and-go. Traffic ran continuously from midnight through 23:59 local time. The peak hour was 16:00, with 66 flights, and the average across all hours was 44.2 movements per hour. The quietest stretch ran from 03:00 to 06:00, bottoming out at 15 total movements in the 04:00 hour. Approach traffic came predominantly from the NE (82 counts) and ENE (78 counts), with SSW and S directions also well represented at 49 and 47 respectively. Departure headings followed a similar northeast bias, with NE at 88, ENE at 74, and WNW at 65. The top route by total movements was Salavan Airport (VLSV/VNA) with 88 combined flights, followed by Ye Airport (VYYE/XYE) at 58 and Chumphon Airport (VTSE/CJM) at 37. Singapore Changi (WSSS/SIN) appeared in the top ten with 13 total movements, heavily skewed toward departures at 12 versus 1 arrival. The 288,234 ADS-B position points produced an average altitude of 16,541 feet across all tracked segments, with a maximum recorded altitude of 45,525 feet. Altitude data concentrated heavily in the 3,000 to 6,000 foot band, reflecting the volume of approach and departure traffic. The longest tracked flight was a departure to Danilo Atienza Air Base (RPLS/SGL) covering 1,275.6 nautical miles over 184.7 minutes, while the shortest arrival covered just 12.8 nautical miles in 4.4 minutes. Registered aircraft origins spanned 29 countries, led by Thailand (121 aircraft) and China (100 aircraft), with 49 aircraft carrying unresolved country codes.

About the Airport

Suvarnabhumi Airport opened on September 28, 2006, replacing the aging Don Mueang International Airport as Bangkok's primary international gateway. Groundbreaking had taken place on January 9, 2002, capping a decades-long planning process that had begun in the 1960s. The airport's name, meaning 'Golden Land' in Sanskrit, was personally selected by King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Located approximately 25 kilometers east of central Bangkok in Samut Prakan Province, the airport sits at near sea level in the flat Chao Phraya basin. Its position makes it one of the most accessible major hubs in the region by road, though that same flat geography has required careful engineering to manage flooding risk. BKK operates 2 parallel runways and handles traffic across a single integrated terminal — one of the largest airport terminal buildings in the world by floor area at the time of its opening. The control tower, standing at 132.2 meters, was among the tallest airport control towers globally when completed.

Suvarnabhumi serves as a primary hub for Thai Airways International and a focus city for Bangkok Airways, with strong connectivity across East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Oceania. It competes and cooperates with the revived Don Mueang Airport, which handles much of the low-cost carrier traffic in the Bangkok market. Together, the 2 airports make Bangkok one of the highest-volume aviation markets in Asia. The airport's central location within the ASEAN region, roughly equidistant from major cities across the continent, reinforces its role as a natural transfer point for intercontinental routing through Southeast Asia.
