Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um said the committee agreed with a proposal by Airports of Thailand (AOT) to exclude depreciation costs from expropriation compensation and add marketing margins of 10-20% for non-house buildings and 20-30% for affected houses. The measures would raise compensation by 22%.

Don Mueang Airport reopened costs Airports of Thailand loss 70 Million Baht a month

Friday, May 11th, 2007

The reopening of Don Mueang airport in March is making a dent in the balance sheet of Airports of Thailand (AOT), with a monthly loss of 70 million baht.

The loss reflects operating costs that far outstrip the income derived from serving a small number of non-connecting flights, at 140 to 160 a day, and daily passenger throughput of around 18,000.

Don Mueang is heavily underutilised, with a projected five million passengers yearly representing only about 12% of its capacity.

Before its closure last year, Don Mueang was handling up to 39 million passengers a year and 700 to 800 flights a day.

Thai Airways loses customers after moving back to Don Muang airport

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Thai Airways International‘s decision to move a large part of its domestic services to the old Don Muang airport has resulted in a loss of tens of thousands of passengers who require connecting flights.

The flag carrier could have lost as many as 70,000 foreign travellers, who were transferring from international flights to domestic destinations or travelling from domestic routes to overseas, since Thai Airways started operating through the 93-year-old airport on March 25, 2007.

These travellers have turned to other carriers due to the hassle and long wait in connecting with international flights – all of which run through Suvarnabhumi Airport, a time-consuming 27 km away.
