Land near new Bangkok Airport can be used for logistics, expert says
November 3rd, 2006A special agency should be set up and a new planning regime imposed to map out proper use of land near airports, especially the new Suvarnabhumi Airport, an aviation expert has suggested.
Better management would help prevent the new airport from becoming surrounded by residential areas and other businesses or activities that are not related to aviation, said Suwat Wanisubut, director of the Office of the Suvarnabhumi Airport Development Committee.
He noted that no controls existed around the old Don Muang airport and the result was a hodge-podge of land uses, not all of them compatible.
Suvarnabhumi Aerotropolis plan would have pros and cons
November 3rd, 2006Plans to create a so-called aerotropolis around Suvarnabhumi Airport, now put on hold by the interim government, would help the country’s economy but hurt the environment, developers say. Problems would arise with water drainage and general living conditions in the area surrounding the airport city, they said.
The aerotropolis plan had “pros and cons. Everything has a trade-off,” said Teerachon Manomaiphibul, deputy managing director of the listed developer Property Perfect Plc..
“If we’re ready in terms of finance, the plan will accelerate development in the area. And development will not limit only the area linking the airport and Bangkok or Pattaya, but it will expand in all directions. However, the development needs a huge investment and the vast area would block the water flow.” he said.
Thai Airways receives 777-200ER from Boeing
November 3rd, 2006
Boeing delivered the first 777-200ER (Extended Range) airplane to Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI). This is the first of four Boeing 777-200ERs that will be delivered to THAI before the end of the year. An additional two 777-200ERs will be delivered in 2007.
THAI’s newest and most advanced jetliner left Paine Field yesterday on a ferry flight to Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand where it will bring the number of Boeing airplanes operated by THAI to 45 airplanes.
The superior operating performance, efficiency and unmatched reliability of the Boeing 777 makes it the premier choice of airline carriers and passengers around the world.
