DCAP Confident Suvarnabhumi Airport will have Power
Thursday, September 7th, 2006Suvarnabhumi Airport, which opens September 28, will always have a sufficient supply of electricity, according to Wanchai Sinaroj, acting general manger of District Cooling System and Power Plants Co., Ltd. (DCAP).
DCAP is a joint venture between three state enterprises: PTT Plc., EGAT Plc. and the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA). DCAP was created specifically to manage the new airport’s power needs.
DCAP’s natural gas power plant has a maximum capacity of 50 megawatts.
According to Wanchai, Suvarnbabhumi Airport’s power generation is highly reliable, but in case of emergency the MEA will carry the load.
Land price rises near Suvarnabhumi
Thursday, September 7th, 2006Land around Suvarnabhumi remains hot, with prices surging beyond the average 4% increase in Greater Bangkok during 2005-06, according to the Agency for Real Estate Affairs.
Land prices around the airport rose 6% during the period due to improving facilities and the government’s planned transport links.
The agency anticipates land prices in Greater Bangkok would rise only 3.1% next year due to the unfavourable economic conditions this year.
The prices of land near Suvarnabhumi have risen by around 47% since 1998, compared to 29.7% for plots in Bangkok.
Nok Air starts early at new airport but opts out on big day
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006Nok Airlines, the budget carrier affiliated with Thai Airways International (THAI), will suspend all flights on Sept 28, partly to avoid possible chaos that could emerge from the opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The suspension, which will affect 30 flights and 5,000 travellers, will also allow the airline to take stock of problems that could emerge over the previous two days when Nok Air starts early operations ahead of the airport’s opening date.
The decision to ground all of its four aircraft for one day was not made out of any concern about the safety or readiness of Suvarnabhumi Airport but rather to head off inconveniences Nok Air passengers may face, according to Sehapan Chumsai, executive vice-president for marketing.
