Suvarnabhumi Airport completely prepared for 28 Sept. 2006
Monday, September 18th, 2006Airports of Thailand Plc. (AOT) officials reconfirmed that Suvarnabhumi Airport will be ready by the September 28 opening, despite recent set backs.
Srisuk Chandrangsu, AOT chairman of the board, said that on the opening date all systems within Bangkok’s new international airport, including the public transportation links, will be fully operational.
Testing has included the handling of over 10,000 pieces of luggage and involved four international flights on September 1.
Srisuk based his confidence on simulations and tests that AOT and relevant organisations – including Thai Airways International Plc. (THAI) and the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand – have conducted since January.
Passengers on first commercial flights satisfied with Suvarnabhumi Airport
Sunday, September 17th, 2006“I am so excited to be a part of this historical flight,” said Miki Hiraoka, a Japanese tourist on Thai Airways International (THAI) flight TG 8860 from Bangkok to Phitsanulok, the first commercial flight to leave Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Most passengers on the first commercial flights to and from Suvarnabhumi Airport were satisfied with service on Friday, despite a slight problem in the morning at the check-in counter, which caused a 30-minute delay.
Friday’s flights by THAI and Jetstar were part of the airport’s soft opening. Full international and domestic services are scheduled to begin September 28.
Thailand’s visa-free entry rules tighten
Saturday, September 16th, 2006The days of foreign visitors doing endless “border runs” in order to live – and often work – in Thailand are over, the Immigration Police announced yesterday.
The Kingdom will tighten its immigration rules for tourists who exploit visa-free regulations, starting from the end of the month.
The move will affect tens of thousands of visitors from 41 countries who have been allowed to stay in Thailand for up to 30 days without a visa – often for many months or years.
The 41 visa-exempt countries include Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the United States.
