Air passenger through Thailand’s six major airports grew robustly in 2006

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Traffic through Thailand’s six major airports grew robustly last year despite concerns that the September coup, teething problems at the new Suvarnabhumi airport and the transition from the old Don Muang airport would all adversely affect tourism.

Total passenger movements embarking, disembarking and transit through the airports operated by Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) rose by 12.6% year-on-year to 53.03 million. The airports are Suvarnabhumi, Don Muang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Chiang Rai.

Combined aircraft movements takeoffs and landings increased 8.15% to 358,148, while total freight throughput rose 3.3%.

Friday, March 9th, 2007

The board of Airports of Thailand (AOT) yesterday rejected a plan put forward by the company’s management to sell its 10% stake in Airport Associate Co (Asso) to end legal difficulties.

The AOT management proposed the share sale to Car Mac Co, which holds the remaining 90% stake in Asso, in the meeting of the AOT board members chaired by Gen Saprang Kalayanamitr.

The sale of AOT‘s 10% stake proposed by the company’s management could bring in nearly four million baht.

New AOT Board should take immediate action to repair runways and taxiways at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Airports of Thailand (AOT) should seek temporary protection from a court to take immediate action to contain the damage to runways and taxiways at Suvarnabhumi airport, pending the pinpointing of those responsible for the problems, a veteran engineer said yesterday.

Suebsak Promboon, director of the Engineering Institute of Thailand, said court protection would allow AOT to make immediate repairs without damaging its rights under the contract that governs the construction of the runways and taxiways.

If new board of AOT, who assigned by the military government, waits for arbitration to find those responsible for the cracks on the runways and taxiways, it would be too late for it to prevent further damage at the new Bangkok Airport, he said.
