Don Muang returns as Bangkok international airport
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007The government has decided that Don Muang will be re-opened for international flights, operating in conjunction with Suvarnabhumi, to ease air traffic congestion at the new airport where some facilities will be closed for repairs. It tentatively set the reopening to be in effect within 45 days, with details to be worked out by the Transport Ministry.
The decision, announced by Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont after the cabinet meeting yesterday, goes beyond the position of the Transport Ministry and Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT).
The two agencies had wanted Don Muang to service only domestic flights which had no direct connections to overseas routes.
Two-airport plan risk government’s credibility
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007The cabinet’s decision yesterday to permanently reopen the old Don Muang airport has surprised aviation executives, who say it further undermines the government’s waning credibility in the eyes of investors.
They said the decision to operate two international airports would fuel further confusion and reflected an inconsistent state policy, heedless of the far-reaching consequences.
Splitting air traffic between Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang would create confusion not only among travellers and complicate their flights connections, but also affect authorities involved in managing air traffic, they said.
Etiquette training for immigration officers at the new Bangkok Airport
Thursday, January 25th, 20071,200 immigration officers at Bangkok’s Suvanarbhumi International Airport will take a training course on personality development following complaints from foreign visitors to the Immigration Bureau that they were always frowning and unfriendly, according to a senior Immigration Bureau official.
National Airport Immigration Division Commissioner, Pol. Maj-Gen. Chakthip Chaijinda Monday signed a cooperation agreement with Suan Dusit Rajabhat University on a behavioural modification training course.
Under the terms of the agreement, Gen. Chakthip said, Suan Dusit Rajabhat University will prepare a personality development training course for immigration officers called the “Sawasdee Project.”
