A total of 26.79m people took to the skies on board no-frills carriers from Thailand's six major airports in the first half of the year, representing 43.9% of the overall passenger count of 61.07m. The share of LCC passenger traffic for the January-June period was higher than the corresponding period last year. In 2015, LCC passenger traffic accounted for nearly 42% of the total, numbering 46.12m out of the total 109.81m registered for the year. LCC passenger traffic through the airports operated by Airports of Thailand in H1 this year jumped 20.7%. <br/>
