Thai Airways hopes to run all flights smoothly without glitches from new Bangkok Airport by November
October 16th, 2006By early November, Thai Airways International should have all glitches and problems plagueing the move to Suvarnabhumi Airport resolved, its president announced on Sunday.
THAI President Apinan Sumanaseni said steady progress has been made in dealing with the array of problems most importantly baggage handling since the airport became operational in September 28.
The national flag carrier operates over 200 flights a day, 160 of which are international routes out of the new airport.
Mr. Apinan said THAI sets as its goal that any flight should not be delayed for more than 15 minutes.
Surging traffic puts former Bangkok Airport ahead of Hong Kong and Changi
October 13th, 2006The number of travellers passing through Bangkok rose to 31.46 million from January to September, a 10.76% increase from the same period in 2005, underscoring the capital’s position as a major air hub of Asia.
Air traffic through Bangkok grew robustly in the first nine months of the year as tourism rebounded from the aftermath of the December 2004 tsunami and budget carriers continued to proliferate.
The increased traffic has helped Bangkok top rivals Hong Kong and Singapore in the world rankings for the busiest airport, according to the latest statistics from Airports Council International (ACI), a Geneva-based coalition of nearly 1,100 airports. Bangkok International Airport (Don Muang) was the world’s 12th busiest airport through the first five months of the year, up from 18th last year.
