Airport of Thailand to promote Suvanabhumi as Smile Airport

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Airports of Thailand (AOT) is set to accelerate and resolve all problems which have arisen in Thailand’s flagship Suvarnabhumi Airport and to promote it as the “Smile Airport” for the region in the coming years.

Serirat Prasutanont, Suvarnabhumi Airport director, revealed that AOT plans to develop the airport and step up efforts to cope with problems the airport is facing such as insufficient toilets, taxiway and runway cracks, and inefficient internal services, to get the showcase facility back on track to ensure that both travellers and air carriers will be given more convenience.




New AOT board to sue King Power

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

The board of Airports of Thailand (AOT), newly assigned by Thai military government, is preparing to file a lawsuit with the Administrative Court to seek a court order to scrap the commercial development contract of King Power International Group at Suvarnabhumi airport. AOT board member and spokesman Chirmsak Pinthong said after yesterday’s board meeting that King Power was found to have violated and evaded the law governing private participation in state projects in its bid to win the right to carry out commercial development of the airport’s passenger terminal.

The law requires in-depth and time-consuming procedures in selecting contractors for any state projects priced at one billion baht and over.




Two-airport plan risk government’s credibility

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

The cabinet’s decision yesterday to permanently reopen the old Don Muang airport has surprised aviation executives, who say it further undermines the government’s waning credibility in the eyes of investors.

They said the decision to operate two international airports would fuel further confusion and reflected an inconsistent state policy, heedless of the far-reaching consequences.

Splitting air traffic between Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang would create confusion not only among travellers and complicate their flights connections, but also affect authorities involved in managing air traffic, they said.
