Chiang Mai International Airport (IATA: CNX, ICAO: VTCC) is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Chiang Mai International Airport is the major gateway to the north of Thailand. As of 2005, 10 airlines operate services and more than 2,000,000 passengers, 15,000 flights and 16,000 metric tons of cargo are handled.

As a result of the temporary closure of Suvarnabhumi Airport in 2008 due to the protests, Chiang Mai became the alternative stop-over for China Airlines' Taipei-Europe flights and for Swiss International Airlines' Singapore-Zurich flights in the interim.
