King Power Duty Free back at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Friday, February 1st, 2008The Civil Court has ordered Airports of Thailand (AOT) to let King Power International Group resume business at Suvarnabhumi pending a decision on their dispute.
AOT earlier cancelled its contracts with King Power, the operator of duty-free shops and commercial areas at the airport, for alleged irregularities in the contracting process. The firm filed a counter lawsuit with the Civil Court and sought damages of 68 billion baht.
The court’s injunction, issued on Wednesday and released yesterday, said the firm must be allowed to operate until a ruling is made in their dispute.
Samui airport to become second international flight hub
Friday, February 1st, 2008Bangkok Airways, the country’s largest privately owned carrier, plans to turn Samui Airport into a second international air hub after Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport in the next one or two years.
The airline would launch more direct international flights for medium-haul routes through the small resort airport. The plan falls under Bangkok Airways’ growth plan and the mandate of the Samui Property Fund.
Also in the pipeline are plans to offer direct flights from Samui to Dubai, Shanghai, Bali, and Kuala Lumpur. The airline already has scheduled flights to Hong Kong and Singapore.
Airport of Thailand to push airlines back to Don Muang airport
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007Airports of Thailand wants to use the abandoned Don Muang airport for international flights to help serve Bangkok passenger traffic and delay the expansion of Suvarnabhumi airport.
The idea has been opposed, however, by the agencies involved, which insist that the Airports of Thailand use only Suvarnabhumi for the sake of transport convenience.
Airports of Thailand adviser Passakorn Suwankanit said Suvarnabhumi airport would reach its full capacity of 45 million passengers a year in 2009 even if Don Muang airport served all domestic flights.
In his opinion, even though Suvarnabhumi could be expanded under its second- and third-phase development, traffic would reach saturation point by 2015.
