Royal celebrations lift visitor arrivals to Thailand in 2006
Wednesday, May 16th, 2007The positive global publicity generated by the 60th anniversary of His Majesty the King’s Accession to the throne was a major contributing factor for Thailand’s tourism industry recording 13.82 million visitor arrivals in 2006, up by more than 20% over 2005.
The high rate of increase in 2006 was a reflection of the country’s tourism industry returning to normal following the severe impact of the tsunami in 2005, and 2007 is likely to see arrivals settling down to a more modest single-digit growth level of 7% to just under 15 million.
Don Mueang Airport reopened costs Airports of Thailand loss 70 Million Baht a month
Friday, May 11th, 2007The reopening of Don Mueang airport in March is making a dent in the balance sheet of Airports of Thailand (AOT), with a monthly loss of 70 million baht.
The loss reflects operating costs that far outstrip the income derived from serving a small number of non-connecting flights, at 140 to 160 a day, and daily passenger throughput of around 18,000.
Don Mueang is heavily underutilised, with a projected five million passengers yearly representing only about 12% of its capacity.
Before its closure last year, Don Mueang was handling up to 39 million passengers a year and 700 to 800 flights a day.
Airports of Thailand seeking a new President
Wednesday, May 9th, 2007Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) is seeking a new chief executive by offering an attractive remuneration package including monthly pay close to one million baht.
The state-controlled airport operator is accepting applications until May 29 for the position of president.
The successful candidate will assume the hot seat temporarily held by Kulya Pakakrong, vice-president for planning and finance, who assumed the role after Chotisak Asapaviriya resigned in February, 2007. Mrs Kulya has made it known that she does not intend to seek the presidency and will return her old job when a replacement is found.
