Airports of Thailand seeking a new President

May 9th, 2007

Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) is seeking a new chief executive by offering an attractive remuneration package including monthly pay close to one million baht.

The state-controlled airport operator is accepting applications until May 29 for the position of president.

The successful candidate will assume the hot seat temporarily held by Kulya Pakakrong, vice-president for planning and finance, who assumed the role after Chotisak Asapaviriya resigned in February, 2007. Mrs Kulya has made it known that she does not intend to seek the presidency and will return her old job when a replacement is found.


New duty free shop operator at Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport could be delayed

May 8th, 2007

The selection of a new duty free shop operator at Suvarnabhumi airport could be delayed if King Power obtains court protection for its concession.

King Power is expected to ask the Administrative Court for temporary dispensation against the Airports of Thailand board’s decision to nullify its contracts to run duty-free shops and sub-lease commercial space at the airport.

The source said if the dispensation was secured it would hold up selection of a new duty-free operator and impede negotiations with small outlets now sub-leasing airport space from King Power.

Airports of Thailand is offering the outlets the chance to lease space directly from it.


King Power given 30 day deadline to remove parts of duty free outlets at Suvarnabhumi Airport

May 5th, 2007

Airports of Thailand (AOT) has given King Power International Group 30 days to remove parts of its duty free outlets at Suvarnabhumi airport which pose a safety hazard.

Airports of Thailand board member Chirmsak Pinthong said management would inform its two subsidiaries King Power Duty Free and King Power Suvarnabhumi of the deadline.

Mr Chirmsak said the deadline was based on the board’s March 22, 2007 resolution nullifying the contracts of both firms for evading the Public-Private Joint Venture Act in vying for commercial space development in the passenger terminal.
