Singapore airport director said Suvarnabhumi can compete against Changi
Friday, October 6th, 2006Suvarnabhumi Airport could become a formidable competitor to the award winning Changi Airport, according to the Singapore airport’s managing director Foo Sek Min.
He said Bangkok’s new international airport was a “100 per cent improvement” on Don Muang, despite the many hitches since it opened on September 28.
Foo warned, however, that Suvarnabhumi should be aware of its costs spiralling, put up better signs and improve its baggage-handling system.
He said Changi – regarded as the world’s best airport – was confident in its strategy of having three main terminals plus one low-cost terminal, instead of having one mega-terminal like Suvarnabhumi.
Free-Trade Zone suggested for Suvarnabhumi Airport
Friday, October 6th, 2006The Director of the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP), Mr. Maitri Srinarawat, says establishment of free-trade zones will attract more foreign investors to Thailand as well as increase Thai exports.
He commented that setting up the free-trade zone in Suvarnabhumi Airport will be an important part that helps reduce the cost of importing raw materials for goods manufacturing in Thailand. He also believed that goods produced for export will rise to 5 million tonnes per annum within 5 years, by which time Thailand will be able to beat up other trade rivals such as Singapore and Hong Kong.
Suvarnabhumi Airport ready to be a gateway to Asia
Friday, October 6th, 2006Tourism Authority of Thailand Acting Governor Pensuda Priaram stated, “The long-awaited opening of Suvarnabhumi is one of the most important landmarks in the history of Thai travel and tourism. We have no doubt that it will attract more visitors to Thailand, be it as inbound tourists or transit passengers who will become future tourists.”
The world’s newest airport opened in Bangkok in a relatively smooth fashion, and Thailand is gearing up for increased arrival numbers, with their 15 million target in 2007 set to grow even larger.
