About Phuket
Thai island in the Andaman Sea, developed into a major beach resort from the 1970s. Almost purely leisure traffic, heavily seasonal.
Population about 400,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Phuket is a leisure market: most of its traffic is going on holiday, which rewards big aircraft on fewer flights.
