Opening Suvarnabhumi Airports is not easy
Wednesday, October 4th, 2006Over the past week we have seen the activation of Suvarnabhumi Airport, and heard media commentary on the glitches, passenger frustrations and cargo delays due to teething problems. Relative to other international airport openings, however, Suvarnabhumi has done extremely well.
In typical Thai style, (and without the usual Western signs of panic or outward frustration), newly trained airport staff in the passenger terminals and cargo sheds have quietly and efficiently cleared passengers from hundreds of arriving aircraft and have already shipped thousands of tonnes of air cargo with a smile (even though some short-term backlogs have occurred).
Decorating the gateway to Southeast Asia

For most of us the central attraction of Suvarnabhumi airport during its complex history to completion has been the controversies shrouding it. Now, as the last dust of the construction cloud settles, the general public can see for itself if the new airport’s appearance – which is of no less consequence than the functionality of the operation itself – has been a success.
Criticisms of the airport’s appearance have rated highly on the list of complaints levelled at it, specifically the appropriateness of the application of its Western architectural aesthetic within a Thai cultural context.
