Security tightens at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

Security measures at Bangkok Thailand’s Suvarnabhumi Airport were tightened Saturday, March 3, 2007, Makha Bucha Day, an important Buddhist religious occasion, following earlier warnings by security officials that an unprecedented bombing could take place in Thailand.

Suvarnabhumi Airport director Serirat Prasutanont said some airport exits were closed and added security personnel are patrolling the area. In addition, some passengers were being searched more thoroughly on a random basis before they entered the airport building.

Mr. Serirat said he was aware that the random searches might have caused inconveniences to passengers at the airport but he said such security measures were needed to prevent an untoward incident during the Makha Bucha Day, celebrated by Buddhists all over the country.

New AOT Board should take immediate action to repair runways and taxiways at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Airports of Thailand (AOT) should seek temporary protection from a court to take immediate action to contain the damage to runways and taxiways at Suvarnabhumi airport, pending the pinpointing of those responsible for the problems, a veteran engineer said yesterday.

Suebsak Promboon, director of the Engineering Institute of Thailand, said court protection would allow AOT to make immediate repairs without damaging its rights under the contract that governs the construction of the runways and taxiways.

If new board of AOT, who assigned by the military government, waits for arbitration to find those responsible for the cracks on the runways and taxiways, it would be too late for it to prevent further damage at the new Bangkok Airport, he said.
