September 9th, 2007The Transport Ministry will form a tripartite committee to negotiate with residents affected by noise pollution caused by aircraft taking off and landing at Suvarnabhumi airport. Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um said the committee will comprise residents, the Airports of Thailand and the Transport Ministry and a team of lawyers.
The panel will act as a go-between in negotiating with residents for solutions, he said.

“40,000 international passengers stop at Suvarnabhumi airport each day. It is a good opportunity to promote Thai fruits worldwide,” added the AOT director.
One-Two-Go Airlines shifting flights from Don Muang to Suvarnabhumi Airport
September 4th, 2007The budget carrier One-Two-Go Airlines is shifting some of its operations back to Suvarnabhumi Airport from the old Don Muang airport where it had concentrated its flights since last September.
The airline quietly launched its first scheduled daily flight from the new Bangkok airport to Phuket on Aug 17 and will gradually increase flight frequency on the route to four per day.
The goal is to help passengers connecting with international flights and to meet demand from local travellers who find it more convenient to board flights at Suvarnabhumi, said the airline’s chief executive, Udom Tantiprasongchai.
