New duty free shop operator at Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport could be delayed
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007The selection of a new duty free shop operator at Suvarnabhumi airport could be delayed if King Power obtains court protection for its concession.
King Power is expected to ask the Administrative Court for temporary dispensation against the Airports of Thailand board’s decision to nullify its contracts to run duty-free shops and sub-lease commercial space at the airport.
The source said if the dispensation was secured it would hold up selection of a new duty-free operator and impede negotiations with small outlets now sub-leasing airport space from King Power.
Airports of Thailand is offering the outlets the chance to lease space directly from it.
King Power given 30 day deadline to remove parts of duty free outlets at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Saturday, May 5th, 2007Airports of Thailand (AOT) has given King Power International Group 30 days to remove parts of its duty free outlets at Suvarnabhumi airport which pose a safety hazard.
Airports of Thailand board member Chirmsak Pinthong said management would inform its two subsidiaries King Power Duty Free and King Power Suvarnabhumi of the deadline.
Mr Chirmsak said the deadline was based on the board’s March 22, 2007 resolution nullifying the contracts of both firms for evading the Public-Private Joint Venture Act in vying for commercial space development in the passenger terminal.
Runways cracks not resulting from the construction – Airport of Thailand will meet the cost
Friday, May 4th, 2007Airports of Thailand may have to meet the cost of repairs to runways and taxiways at Suvarnabhumi airport because the damage is not covered by the contractor’s insurance, an Airports of Thailand source said yesterday.
”The contractor’s insurance covers only damage resulting from construction,” the source said.
”If there are other reasons for the damage, Airports of Thailand will have to meet the cost.”
Reports have laid the blame for cracks in some surfaces of runways, taxiways and taxilanes at Suvarnabhumi airport on excessive water underground.
The cracked areas cover about 78,000 square metres and repair costs were earlier estimated at 300 million to 500 million baht.
