Airports 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.

Airports of Thailand would not wait for advice from the Office of the Attorney-General on the contract issue.

The source said acting president Kulya Pakakrong refused to sign the deadline resolution alone and threatened to resign, fearing she would be sued by King Power later on. Finally, all board members signed the resolution, the source said.
