Farewells at Don Muang International Airport
September 27th, 2006Some tears were seen as airline employees and members of the public bid farewell to Bangkok International Airport at Don Muang Wednesday, taking photos in remembrance of times past.
Don Muang airport ends more than 90 years service to the public Wednesday and officially will be reborn as Suvarnabhumi Airport Thursday at 3am (0300 hours).
It is the last day Don Muang International Airport will provide services, but passengers and tourists continue to count on the airport for inbound and outbound flights as normal, at least on Wednesday.
Thailand to be aircraft maintenance centre of Asia
September 26th, 2006The Civil Aviation Training Centre (CATC) will propose that an aircraft maintenance centre be established in order to help promote Thailand as a regional hub providing airlines with full service.
CATC intends to make their recommendations once an interim government is selected.
The biggest player in Asia’s 500 billion baht a year aircraft maintenance industry is Singapore which services a fifth of the market.
“Thailand has the potential to provide more maintenance services than Singapore, but we don’t have a proper centre. Moreover, many people working in Singapore’s aircraft maintenance industry were trained in Thailand,” said Boonritr Saovapruk, CATC governor.
CDRM special committee finds Suvarnabhumi prepared
September 26th, 2006A day after being appointed chairman of a special committee to oversee Suvarnabhumi Airport’s opening, Air Chief Marshal Chalit Pukbhasuk, head of the Royal Thai Air Force, inspected the new facility and concluded it ready for the September 28 opening.
The Council for Democratic Reform under Constitutional Monarchy (CDRM) created the committee to ensure the airport’s first day goes well.
“Suvarnabhumi began offering passenger service on September 15 [as part of the airport’s soft opening]. We encountered some minor problems, which have since been solved,” said Somchai Sawasdeepon, the airport’s general manager, who briefed Marshal Chalit during the inspection.
