From this studying, It was found that the problems and impacts were traffic congestion due to an airport road system that was made to be located close to city road systems and a limitation of airport expansion due to limited spaces. Therefore, the solution to solve this problems is to construct a second airport terminal building based on an information from Chiang Mai Airport Development Plan of AIRPORTS OF THAILAND PLC.
