Suvarnabhumi Airport Transfer
AOT Crisis Centre set up as Suvarnabhumi countdown begins
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006Airports of Thailand Plc. (AOT) has established a crisis centre as officials make final preparations for Suvarnabhumi Airport’s opening early Thursday.
“The centre will deal with problems in various areas including check-in, electricity, and computer and communications systems,” said Chotisak Asapaviriya, AOT president, who also voiced concern that the airport staff was still a little unfamiliar with the new equipment.
Though, he is confident there will be no major problems on Thursday.
The AOT’s centre is similar to one created by the Ministry of Transport, which aims to control traffic congestion during the transition period that began Wednesday with Thai Airways International Plc. relocating all remaining essential equipment to the new hub.
Massive airport move may cause traffic jam
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006Parts of Vibhavadi Rangsit road are expected to be clogged today (September 27, 2006) and tomorrow (September 28, 2006) as a convoy of lorries carrying the last consignment of equipment leaves Don Muang for the new airport, Suvarnabhumi. Airport staff at Don Muang, which will shut down after tomorrow, began relocating facilities to Suvarnabhumi on Monday.
The relocation of the equipment, mainly the property of Thai Airways International (THAI), is expected to be completed in two days.More than 300 city and traffic policemen have been ordered to assist in the transport. Hundreds of trucks will be involved.
Farewells at Don Muang International Airport
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006Some tears were seen as airline employees and members of the public bid farewell to Bangkok International Airport at Don Muang Wednesday, taking photos in remembrance of times past.
Don Muang airport ends more than 90 years service to the public Wednesday and officially will be reborn as Suvarnabhumi Airport Thursday at 3am (0300 hours).
It is the last day Don Muang International Airport will provide services, but passengers and tourists continue to count on the airport for inbound and outbound flights as normal, at least on Wednesday.
