Smooth operations at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport
October 6th, 2006Services at the new Suvarnabhumi Airport have greatly improved, according to Thai Airways International Flying Officer, Apinand Sum-na-sre-ra-nee.
In addition, the coordination between Thai Airways and Thai Airport Limited has been running smoothly.
The Head Committee at Thai Airways reported that 98 percent of flights between 1:00am and 6:00pm were on time. The 2 percent of flights that were delayed, were not delayed for more than an hour. More importantly, there were no reports of delayed domestic flights.
Thai Airways also assured that baggage claims were running efficiently. While 90 percent of claims were running on time, travellers were not delayed for more than 30 minutes.
Bangkok and Chiang Mai named top 10 best cities in the world
October 6th, 2006The city of Bangkok has been placed third in the World’s Best Awards 2006, ranked as the world’s third favourite city for tourism–after Italy’s Florence and Rome, respectively.
It’s a repeat honour for Bangkok. The City of Angels copped the American award as Asia’s best every year for the four previous years.
Bangkok governor Apirak Kosayodhin received the “Asia’s Best City 2006” award from America’s Travel + Leisure magazine on Friday.
More than that, Thailand’s northern city of Chiang Mai was voted the world’s fifth favourite tourist city and second in Asia. The magazine conducted surveys of tourists and its readers through its website and questionnaires.
Singapore airport director said Suvarnabhumi can compete against Changi
October 6th, 2006Suvarnabhumi Airport could become a formidable competitor to the award winning Changi Airport, according to the Singapore airport’s managing director Foo Sek Min.
He said Bangkok’s new international airport was a “100 per cent improvement” on Don Muang, despite the many hitches since it opened on September 28.
Foo warned, however, that Suvarnabhumi should be aware of its costs spiralling, put up better signs and improve its baggage-handling system.
He said Changi – regarded as the world’s best airport – was confident in its strategy of having three main terminals plus one low-cost terminal, instead of having one mega-terminal like Suvarnabhumi.
