Airports of Thailand terminated King Power Duty Free’s contracts
April 20th, 2007Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT)’s board of directors resolved on Thursday (April 19, 2007) to call a new bidding for operators of duty-free shops at the Suvarnabhumi Airport, indicating an eventual end in its contracts with King Power International.
The board also agreed to have all tenants at the airport to negotiate for new contracts with AOT individually. Previously King Power had secured the concession for commercial area management.
AOT, which runs the Suvarnabhumi Airport, had nullified its deals with King Power on advice from the Council of State, arguing that King Power had violated the Public-Private Joint Venture Act.
Restrictions will be enforced on liquids, aerosols and gels in hand-carried luggage on all commercial flights
April 19th, 2007Thailand will start enforcing new restrictions on liquids, aerosols and gels in hand-carried luggage on all commercial flights departing from airports nationwide in the next few weeks.
Thailand is the latest Asian country to begin applying the security measures suggested by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) following the discovery of a terrorist plot in Britain last year.
Major Asian air hubs such as South Korea’s Incheon International Airport and Hong Kong International Airport implemented the measures earlier this year, while Singapore Changi Airport is due to apply them from May 8.
Suvarnabhumi airport railway link builder asked for deadline delay
April 18th, 2007The consortium contracted to build the 30 billion baht Suvarnabhumi airport railway link has written to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) asking for a deadline extension of 652 days. However, a construction supervision consultant for the project has suggested that the extension of the construction deadline should not exceed 398 days, according to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) source.
The B. Grimm consortium says it needs the extra time to complete the project. The consortium includes Sino-Thai Engineering & Construction and Siemens. The source said the consortium has written to the SRT asking for an extension of 652 days, based on the delay in the handover of land.
