Extensive repair work included adjusting the runway area, clearing debris, maintaining electrical systems, and checking the runway surface for damage.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) approved the resumption of operations after verifying all repair work and the airport's physical condition.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
