BKK

Suvarnabhumi Airport

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is one of Southeast Asia's primary international gateways, routing traffic across the region and into intercontinental corridors from Bangkok. This metal print captures that connectivity — rendered from real ADS-B flight tracking data. Every flight path is colorized by altitude across your chosen palette.

This print visualizes all 883 flights recorded on January 1, 2026. Each path is plotted exactly as flown and printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel — a piece of aviation wall art that locks in the first day of the year over one of Asia's most connected hubs.

ADS-B Points

ADS-B data captured 883 total flights at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK/VTBS) on January 1, 2026, spanning 352 unique aircraft across 17 hours of active operations. Traffic was split nearly evenly between arrivals (444) and departures (439), with an additional 31 ground operations recorded. The busiest hour was 15:00 local time, handling 64 movements (33 arrivals, 31 departures). Activity ran from 07:00 through 23:59, with zero recorded movements between midnight and 07:00. Average throughput held at 36.8 flights per hour across the active window. Nakhon Ratchasima (NAK) was the top route by volume at 90 total movements, heavily weighted toward arrivals (56 vs. 34 departures). Buri Ram (BFV) ranked second at 46 total, also arrival-heavy. Chiang Mai (CNX) was the only top-ten route with a perfectly balanced split, 20 arrivals and 20 departures. Dawei (TVY) in Myanmar was the fifth busiest pairing with 31 movements. Among international connections, Singapore Changi (SIN) and Macau (MFM) appeared exclusively as departure destinations with 11 and 12 movements respectively. The longest captured flight was an arrival from Faisalabad (LYP), Pakistan, covering 1,907.3 nm over 241.3 minutes aboard Turkish-registered TC-JNS. Approach traffic was dominated by the northeast corridor, accounting for 116 of 444 arrivals. Departures showed a broader spread, with northeast (72), east-northeast (53), and south (44) leading. The fleet drew registrations from over 30 countries, with Thai (107) and Chinese (81) registered aircraft comprising the two largest groups. Peak recorded altitude was 45,375 ft, logged by Australian-registered VH-VKF on a 197.9 nm arrival. The average groundspeed across all tracked legs was 234 knots, with a maximum of 642.5 knots recorded.

About the Airport

Suvarnabhumi Airport opened on September 28, 2006, replacing the aging Don Mueang Airport as Bangkok's primary international terminal. The name, chosen by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, translates roughly as "Golden Land" from Sanskrit. Its construction took decades. The project was first proposed in the 1960s, went through numerous political and financial delays, and became one of the most scrutinized infrastructure efforts in Thai history before finally opening.

The airport sits approximately 25 kilometers east of central Bangkok on land that was once a large swamp known as Nong Nguhao, or Cobra Swamp. At an elevation of just 5 feet above mean sea level, its flat coastal plain setting shapes approach and departure routing in all directions. The terminal was designed by Helmut Jahn and is notable for its single large passenger building connected to a concourse by an underground transit system. The main terminal's roof structure spans an enormous footprint and was considered an engineering benchmark at the time of opening.

BKK operates 2 parallel runways and functions as the primary hub for Thai Airways International, with Bangkok Airways and numerous international carriers maintaining significant operations there. It connects Bangkok to destinations across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond. Don Mueang Airport, which Suvarnabhumi was intended to fully replace, was later reopened and now handles much of Thailand's low-cost carrier traffic, meaning the 2 airports operate in tandem. BKK consistently ranks among the busiest airports in Asia by passenger volume, serving tens of millions of travelers annually and anchoring Bangkok's role as a regional aviation crossroads.
