Suvarnabhumi » Ten candidates apply for chief executive of Airports of Thailand
Sunday, July 20th, 2008
Two Air Force generals, a banker, state enterprise executives and private sector businessmen are among the 10 candidates seeking to be the next chief executive of the Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT). Among those who beat the May 29 deadline to apply for the job, which comes with a monthly salary of up to 900,000 baht, are Air Vice-Marshal Chana Yoostaporn and Air Vice-Marshal Apisak Boonpuen, according to sources.
Others are Airports of Thailand vice-president Sanae Chaosurin; Opas Petmunee, former acting director of the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA); Natasin Chongsanguan, the brother of Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand governor Prapat Chongsanguan; Ratchaburi Holding Plc board director Atchada Kasornsuk; Chanin Yensukjai of the Paolo Hospital group; Chirawat Pichaisrisawat, who used to oversee bids for the government’s online lottery project; Thanachart Bank chief operating officer Sumas Wongsunoparat; and Smithpong Ariyawat.
Airports of Thailand‘s selection committee, chaired by Chalor Kocharak, a former deputy permanent secretary of the Transport Ministry, has begun to scrutinise the qualifications of the applicants. It will come up with a shortlist for those eligible for interviews.
The selection committee is applying the standard qualifications set out by the State Enterprise Executives and Officers Act. The process should be completed within this month before the results go to the Airports of Thailand board, chaired by Gen Saprang Kalayanamitr, for approval.
The successful candidate will assume the seat temporarily held by Kulya Pakakrong, vice-president for planning and finance, who took the job after Chotisak Asapaviriya resigned in February.
Mr Chotisak tendered his resignation after eight months on the job, citing health problems.
Airports of Thailand operates the six major airports in Thailand: Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket and Hat Yai.
