Airports 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.
Mr Chotisak tendered his resignation after eight months in the job, citing health problems, though some officials suggested his departure was prompted by suspicions that he would not keen by the AOT board chaired by Gen Saprang Kalayanamitr (One of the September 19, 2006 Coup Leaders).
The selection committee will apply the standard qualifications set out by the State Enterprise Executives and Officers Act. The candidate must:
- Currently hold or previously have held at least a title of vice-president in a private organisation with annual revenue of at least 3.5 billion baht.
- Be at least a deputy director-general, deputy director or deputy chief of a government agency equivalent to deputy director-general.

- Hold the position for at least one year.
- Be no older than 60, not be a member of the AOT board, a political party or involved in entities that have interests with AOT‘s business for the past three years.
The term is for four years or when the person turns 60. Remuneration and benefits include a monthly salary ranging from 400,000 to 900,000 baht.
AOT operates six major airports in Thailand: Suvarnabhumi, Don Muang, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket and Hat Yai.
Last year, AOT airports handled 53.03 million passengers. It had a net profit of 10.4 billion baht for the fiscal year ending on Sept 30 on 16.26 billion baht in revenue.
