Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Flight times to Europe should be shortened by up to an hour from Thursday (July 5, 2007) when Aerothai launches a new regional air traffic flow management system.

The Bay of Bengal Cooperative Air Traffic Flow Management System (BOBCAT) will cut travelling time for west-bound flights departing from South Asia and Southeast Asia, Priti Hetrakul, president of Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai), said yesterday. The BOBCAT system was designed to ease air traffic congestion over Afghanistan between the hours of 3am and 6.59am.




International visitor arrivals increase at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

International visitor arrivals at Suvarnabhumi Airport in the four months of the year totalled 3,413,197, an increase of 2.61 per cent year on year.

This includes only those who arrived in Bangkok as a first point of entry and not those who flew directly to other points in Thailand or who entered the country at border checkpoints. About 70 per cent of visitors usually make Bangkok their first point of entry.




Royal celebrations lift visitor arrivals to Thailand in 2006

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

The 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.
