This study determines the impact of national air transport liberalisation policy implementation on the country’s airline market landscape in Thailand by taking key stakeholders’ opinions as prime recipients. The mixed research method was undertaken by utilising qualitative and quantitative data collected from both primary and secondary sources. The collected data was analysed by content analysis. Key findings reveal that the policy has led to economic and air transport growth noticeably, gained by lower regulatory entry barriers inducing more competition in the market, domestically and internationally. However, a number of small domestic routes were abandoned, and a price war in the domestic market has been witnessed during the past 6 years (2014–2019). For the international market, invasions from foreign low-cost carriers and Middle East carriers are still the key challenges. The critiques of the country’s air transport liberalisation policy from airlines and the government share some common views on success issues of the policy but many contradictions on failure ones. More holistic and integrated policy from the ruling government and continuous improvement of regulatory functions, especially for economic regulation, are expected to be effective solutions.
