(CNN) — Bangkok’s new airport finally opens

For the Thai government, September 28 will either be a day of victory or acute embarrassment. At 3 a.m., the aging and overcrowded Don Muang International Airport will close, to be replaced by Bangkok’s new international airport, Suvarnabhumi — or “Golden Land” in Thai — which has been 40 years in the planning and opens following months of delays. It is a massive undertaking for airport officials and more than one hundred airlines have been involved. So will they be ready? CNN Business Traveller visited the Thai capital’s new airport before it opened to the public and interviewed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra about criticism that the airport is not ready.
