New Bangkok Airport contracts to be re-examined by Gen Saprang
November 24th, 2006Airports of Thailand‘s new board chairman Gen Saprang Kalayanamitr has ordered all airport contracts to be examined. Speaking after a board meeting, he said all contracts could be available for public vetting, depending on legal content.
”The public has the right to learn about the contracts. There is nothing to hide. But we need time to gather clear and complete information to ensure fairness for all parties,” he said.
The board set up three panels to look into complaints about mafia gangs and passenger problems at Suvarnabhumi airport. Any staff member found to be involved in mafia gangs will be punished, he said.
Two aviation fuel pipeline operators set to go in court
November 5th, 2006A dispute between the two aviation fuel pipeline operators serving Suvarnabhumi Airport has escalated into a lawsuit filed by JP-One Asset Co against rival Thai Petroleum Pipeline Co Ltd (Thappline).
JP-One, a subsidiary of Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) listed Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services Plc (Bafs), is claiming 5.18 billion baht in compensation for alleged tort and violation of the Trade Competition Act.
Thappline, a subsidiary of PTT Plc, is named as a defendant along with its directors in the suit, filed in the Thanyaburi Provincial Court. The suit follows an earlier complaint JP-One had made to the Commerce Ministry, claiming that Thappline was engaged in price-dumping.
Bangkok Airways says fare hike to Koh Samui was unavoidable
November 5th, 2006Bangkok Airways has defended the airline’s recent fare hike to Koh Samui which local tour operators and tourism organisations have slammed as counter-productive to the resort island’s tourism growth. In a Nov 3 press release picked up in Koh Samui, the airline explained that the Oct 29 hike, its first in four years, was unavoidable.
Bangkok Airways has incurred higher labour and fuel costs every year for the last five years. The relocation this year of its operations from Don Muang to Suvarnabhumi airport also added to expenses, it said.
