CTX scanners have been fixed & ready for full operation
July 21st, 2007Computer tomography x-ray (CTX) machines at the capital’s Suvarnabhumi airport are fully functional now after breaking down in June due to a computer virus introduced into the computer system server.
The Airports of Thailand (AOT) has implemented measures to close all USB ports connecting to the CTX server so that no alien programme or software can be downloaded into the computer system, Serirat Prasutanont, director of Suvarnabhumi airport said.
GE Invision Inc., an American company which supplied the CTX machines at Suvarnabhumi, is developing anti-virus software to block the computer virus, but it has taken time to install the newly-developed software.
Bonded warehouse area at Suvarnabhumi airport to be expanded
July 5th, 2007The bonded warehouse area at Suvarnabhumi airport will be expanded and separated from the under-utilised customs-free cargo zone, Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um said.
Existing bonded warehouses managed by Thai Airways (THAI) and Bangkok Flight Services would be enlarged to satisfy growing cargo demand.
The expanded areas would be located north and south of the customs-free zone.
Some shippers complain of problems with the duty-free zone because the electronic Air Cargo Community System, which is supposed to track cargo in the air and on the ground, was unable to link properly with the Customs Department’s software systems.
Flight times to Europe should be shortened by up to an hour
July 4th, 2007Flight times to Europe should be shortened by up to an hour from Thursday (July 5, 2007) when Aerothai launches a new regional air traffic flow management system.
The Bay of Bengal Cooperative Air Traffic Flow Management System (BOBCAT) will cut travelling time for west-bound flights departing from South Asia and Southeast Asia, Priti Hetrakul, president of Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai), said yesterday. The BOBCAT system was designed to ease air traffic congestion over Afghanistan between the hours of 3am and 6.59am.
It reorganises the times flights should enter Afghanistan airspace, and at what altitude. It also designates a suitable flight path, reducing the need for detours.
