Thursday, October 5th, 2006

It will be especially designed for budget airlines and travellers, with the emphasis on reducing operating and other costs.

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

Airports of Thailand’s President Chotisak Asapaviriya on Sunday voiced confidence more foreign tourists would visit Thailand at end of this year since 10 more airliners expressed intention to land at the Suvarnabhumi Airport.

He said the official inauguration of the airport on September 28 is a proper decision because the Bangkok International Airport at Don Muang could not accommodate the increased number of passengers.

Also, should the Suvarnabhumi Airport open in November or December, the transfer would be more difficult since it is a high season period.

Saturday, September 30th, 2006
