## Description

Latex, chilled and frozen seafood and halal foodstuffs make up the bulk of what leaves Hat Yai International (IATA: HDY, ICAO: VTSS), which handled 4,204 tonnes of air cargo in 2025, up close to 14 per cent year on year. The airport is the air freight gateway of Thailand's deep south, operated by state company Airports of Thailand (AOT) in Khlong Hoi Khong district, Songkhla province, about 12 kilometres from the city centre. Volume moves almost entirely as belly capacity under passenger aircraft of Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air, Nok Air and Thai Vietjet plus services to Kuala Lumpur; there is no dedicated freight terminal and no freighter operation. Thai Customs handles export clearance on site. The Sadao and Padang Besar land borders with Malaysia lie roughly 60 to 70 road kilometres away, so combined air-and-truck routings through Penang (PEN) often make commercial sense. For larger volumes, dangerous goods or genuine main-deck capacity, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) remains the reference point, with Phuket (HKT) the nearest alternative inside the south.
