AOT seeks more foreign-denominated income

Friday, September 8th, 2006

Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) is studying a plan to seek more foreign-denominated income in a bid to match the diversification of its long-term yen-currency debts into several major foreign currencies.

The company is also planning to develop an entertainment complex on 160 hectares near Suvarnabhumi Airport in an effort to boost its non-aeronautical revenue, as air-travel-related income is declining.

AOT president Chotisak Asapaviriya said the company was likely to collect more foreign-currency income as foreign air travel was expected to grow more rapidly than local air travel.
