Phuket Airport Urges Thai Airways to Expedite Delivery of 600 Delayed Bags

Phuket International Airport (HKT) has officially requested that Thai Airways accelerate the delivery of approximately 600 pieces of luggage that were left stranded at Suvarnabhumi Airport between September 26 and September 29, 2026. Monchai Tanod, Director of Phuket International Airport, stated that the airport is prioritizing the needs of affected passengers and is working closely with the airline to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

According to airport officials, the majority of the delayed baggage has already arrived at Phuket International Airport. Thai Airways is currently responsible for the sorting and final delivery process. The airline has committed to contacting passengers individually before attempting delivery to confirm details and ensure a smooth handover.

For travelers who prefer to collect their belongings in person, Thai Airways has established a baggage tracking department located in the arrival hall on the first floor of the international terminal. While the airport has confirmed that most items have reached Phuket, passengers should remain in contact with the airline regarding their specific delivery status. It remains to be confirmed how long the final distribution process will take for all 600 items to reach their respective owners. Travelers are advised to monitor their communication channels for updates from the airline.
