Suvarnabhumi Airport aims for global accolades
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006Within the next two years, the government plans to make Suvarnabhumi Airport, which opens later this month, the best airport in the world.
Deputy Prime Minister and Industry Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit said Wednesday that the airport meets multiple international standards and criteria, including modern administrative and security systems, and ample duty free.
His statements were made while presiding over the opening of both the Suvarnabhumi Airport Media Centre and the International Broadcasting Centre at the Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport hotel.
He also emphasised that tourism will improve following the airport’s opening on September 28.
46 Diplomats confident in Suvarnabhumi Airport’s capability
Saturday, September 9th, 2006Diplomats from 46 countries are confident in Suvarnabhumi Airport’s capability and believe it will open on September 28th.
Representatives from 46 Bangkok-based embassies and consulates toured Suvarnabhumi Airport on Friday as part of an effort to acclimate diplomats with the new facility.
The delegation paid special attention to the V.I.P rooms as these would be used to accomodate visits by each country’s leader.
Swedish Ambassador Jonas Hafstrom said he was amazed by the airport, and confident that once it opens more Swedish investors and tourists would come to Thailand.
PM eases Suvarnabhumi move timetable
Monday, August 21st, 2006To cool the publicly-expressed displeasure of Thai Airways International (THAI) staff to moving the airline’s domestic operations to the new Suvarnabhumi international airport for a Sept 15 startup, Caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has moderated his earlier demand.
Domestic airlines wishing to operate from the airport on that day could do so on voluntary basis, but it will not be mandatory.
Speaking to journalists, Mr. Thaksin said he would meet with the Suvarnabhumi international airport committee Sept. 14 and would leave for Cuba to attend the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) meeting immediately after the airport meeting ends.
