Tak Airport (IATA: TKT, ICAO: VTPT) is in Nam Ruem subdistrict, Mueang Tak district, Tak province in northern Thailand.
From November 1990 to March 1994, Thai Airways International served the routes of Tak Airport.[1] There are no airlines in service since then, but the Tak Airport is still in operation.
In 2020, the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation has established the Northern Royal Rainmaking Operations Center in Tak Province, using the Tak Airport's area. The construction is expected to be completed in 2023, and planned to move all Northern Royal Rainmaking operations from the Chiang Mai Center and Chiang Mai Airport to the new Tak Center.[2][3]
