BANGKOK (AFP) - Phuket International Airport reopened Monday, one day after a passenger jet packed with tourists crashed on landing at the southern Thai resort island, killing 89 people, airport officials said.
       
       "Airports of Thailand (AOT) announced that Phuket airport resumed operations at 3:30 pm (0830 GMT)," an airport spokeswoman told AFP.
       
       "But so far there have been no incoming or outgoing flights."
       
       Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont and his foreign minister headed to Phuket on a military flight on Monday. His flight is expected to be one of the first to land at the reopened airport at 0950 GMT.
       
       Commercial flights will resume later Monday, officials said.
       
       Thousands of passengers were stranded after Sunday's tragedy, with flights to Phuket being diverted to nearby Krabi.
       
       Officials said 89 people -- including up to 55 foreigners -- died when budget carrier One-Two-Go's plane crashed in driving rain, slamming into a wooded embankment and breaking up in flames.
       
       Major General Santhan Chayanont, deputy regional police commander, told AFP that the airport runway had been cleared of debris, but added that four bodies remained in the wreckage
