Facilitation for all remaining stranded passengers

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

To facilitate the confirmation of flights for remaining passengers, the Ministry of Tourism and Sports (MOTS) urges tourists/travellers to contact airline Reservation Centres directly by telephone or e-mail to re-confirm their intention to travel.

Additionally, individuals who are waiting for flight confirmation are requested to refrain from switching hotels at this time. This will make it easier for airline representatives to maintain contact with individual passengers as soon as flights out of Bangkok/Thailand become available.

When the passenger’s reservations request has been confirmed, the airline will contact him/her directly at the hotel. Following this, the individual then makes their way to one of the following Terminal Centres to transfer them to BITEC:

To minimize confusion and delays at the airport, the express check-in centre at the Bangkok International Trade Exhibition Centre (BITEC), located at 88 Bangna-Trad Road KM. 1 Bangna Bangkok 10260, has been established for the passengers who have received flight confirmation from the airline representatives. Passengers must check in at least seven hours before flight departure. The available airlines check-in counters in BITEC are Thai Airways (TG), Air Asia (AK), Bangkok Flight Service (BFS), Singapore Airlines (SQ), Bangkok Airways (PG), Eva Airways (BR), China Southern Airlines (CZ), Qatar Airways (QR), Garuda Indonesia (GA) and Hong Kong Express (UO). For more information, kindly contact 02 749 3939.

Thai Airways International Public Company Limited has arranged check-in counters at the lobby area, 1st Floor, EH106 Building BITEC Bang-Na Exhibition Centre for Thai Airways passengers who have already received flight confirmation from Thai Airways reservations. Thai Airways will then check in passengers and provide transfers from BITEC Bang-Na to U-Tapao Airport in Rayong.

Thai Airways requests passengers with ticket reservations before 25 November 2008, travelling during 25 November – 31 December, 2008, to contact THAI’s reservation and ticketing offices to re-book their reservations:

For further information and reservations, kindly contact 02 356 1111 or for other assistance at Tel. 02 545 4000.

Bangkok Airways commenced two daily flights between Hua Hin and Samui during 1 December until further notice in order to connect passengers going to Singapore or Hong Kong via Samui.

Additionally, the airline also operates between

U-Tapao – Siem Reap,

U-Tapao – Luang-Prabang,

U-Tapao – Maldives,

U-Tapao – Guilin,

U-Tapao – Samui, and

U-Tapao – Phuket.

Airports of Thailand offering big discounts on aircraft landing fees to airlines

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) is adopting an incentive scheme to attract scheduled international air traffic to its four airports outside Bangkok through hefty reductions in aircraft landing fees, effective today.

The cuts, by as much as 95% of its normal fees, are essentiality aimed at luring newAirport Landing Fee carriers to operate through the four airports and encouraging those already operating to step up frequencies, said officials of the majority-state-owned firm.

The ‘aviation marketing incentive programme’ is applied to Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket and Hat Yai where traffic volumes have been growing slowly.

It is also aimed at spurring tourism to those provinces where local industries have been urging Airports of Thailand to help attract airlines to their locations.

The concessions do not cover Airports of Thailand‘s two Bangkok airports, the flagship Suvarnabhumi and the 93-year-old Don Muang serving non-connecting domestic flights.

But airlines have been critical of airport service charges that were increased earlier this year, including a 15% jump in landing and parking fees and concession fees levied by Airports of Thailand against ground-handling companies that are passed on to the airlines.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said that the higher charges have made turnaround costs at Bangkok higher than at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport.

Airports of Thailand‘s newly introduced scheme is similar to what has been practised by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Singapore Changi airport in their bid to attract carriers.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) offers new foreign airlines and existing airlines that add new destinations or frequencies to KLIA a three-year waiver on landing fees and then 75% and 50% discounts, respectively, for the next two years.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has introduced a similar scheme to attract traffic to Changi, under the Air Hub Development Fund. Early last year, it rolled out its second fund worth S$300 million.

Airports of Thailand‘s landing fee discounts vary in accordance with different criteria.

The reduced fees are only applied to the incremental flights in the last two cases. Based on the same conditions, a 30% discount is given for domestic flights.

While the discounts are given throughout the year at the Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Chiang Rai airports, the concession is only applied for the summer flight schedule (April-October) for the Phuket airport, Airports of Thailand‘s busiest provincial port.

The landing and parking fees for a Boeing 747-400 at Airports of Thailand airports total US$ 1,892 based on an exchange rate of 34 baht to the dollar.

For the year to September 30, 2007, passengers through Chiang Mai airport increased 9.5% year-on-year to 3.37 million; Hat Yai was up 3.28% to 1.33 million; Phuket up 22.61% to 5.47 million and Chiang Rai up 2.18% to 711,662, according to Airports of Thailand figures.  (BkkPost)
