IATA warned AOT on shifting some flights back to old Bankok Airport

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said yesterday that a decision by Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) to shift some commercial flights back to Don Muang would dampen Bangkok‘s potential for becoming an aviation hub.

Making flight connections between two airports would be a huge inconvenience for passengers, and might further damage the attractiveness of Thailand as a tourist destination, the world’s largest airline trade group said.
Albert Tjoeng, the IATA spokesman for Asia-Pacific, said: “Imagine a passenger arriving in Suvarnabhumi and having to catch a connecting domestic flight or no-frills flight from Don Muang. How long will that connection take including baggage collection, travel from Suvarnabhumi to Don Muang and then check-in for the next flight? If an airport wants to be a hub, it is important to keep the connection time low.”
