Thursday, March 15th, 2007Airports of Thailand will need government money to buy out residents withering under the onslaught of aircraft noise from nearby Suvarnabhumi airport, with total compensation payments estimated at 121.5 billion baht.
The company has completed its estimates of compensation for owners of property to the north and south of the eastern and western runways, an Airports of Thailand (AOT) source said yesterday.
About one billion baht will be offered to schools, hospitals, government agencies and public places around the new Bangkok airport.

Meeting will be held to follow up problems at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007The Ministry of Transport decides to hold talks on problems of the Suvarnabhumi Airport every two weeks after the renovation of impaired runways and taxiways has shown little progress.
Deputy Minister of Transport Sansern Wongcha-um says the renovation of the runways and taxiways is the most urgent issue of the new Bangkok airport. Other problems to be discussed during the meeting every fortnight concern the passenger building, cargoes, and internal logistic system.
Ministry’s meeting with the Airports of Thailand (AOT) on March 14th will focus on accelerating amendments to the investment plan of the Suvarnabhumi Airport. As for residents affected by aircraft’s noise, the National Economic and Social Development Board has approved a budget of 390 million baht to compensate them.
