Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Thailand’s aviation authorities on Wednesday rejected a plea by budget air carriers to return their operations to the former Bangkok International Airport at Don Muang, saying that the move would double official expenses to keep two airports in operation.

Department of Aviation director-general Chaisak Angkasuwan said he disagreed with the call from economy airlines to move their operations back to the old airport from the recently opened Suvarnabhumi Airport.
