Thai Airways president opposes Don Muang as international airport

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Thai Airways International Public Co., Ltd. (THAI), the country’s flag carrier, opposes the idea of reinstating Bangkok’s former airport, Don Muang, now serving airliners for domestic routes, as another international airport to ease traffic congestion at Suvarnabhumi international airport.

Thai Airways president Apinan Sumanaserani said Suvarnabhumi international airport, which celebrates its first anniversary of commercial opening September 29, is  busy during heavy traffic only. In fact, the airport could easily cater to some 60-70 million passengers annually without problems, he said.
