The only thing flying into Sakon Nakhon are Rumors

There have been no commercial aircraft flying into this city since the beginning of November. Sakon Nakhon is one of a number of domestic airports recently abandoned by airlines.

No one seems to know with any certainty, just plenty of rumors:
  • Bangkok Air is opening a ticket office here in town (not).
  • Nok Air will begin service in December (supposedly seen on local TV).
  • Local airport employees are waiting to be told at which airport they will be employed.
  • PB Air is no more (?)
The only certainty: There are no flights to Sakon Nakhon at this time.
The nearest airports being serviced are Khoen Ken and Udon Thani.
No mention in English media.

At least (after 2 weeks) there is a message now on the website of PB Air: all flights suspended until further notice.
It is very strange that there is not any information in the newspapers, not in the Bangkok Post nor The Nation.

Wonder if this is a political move.
Does wonders for tourism
