Suvarnabhumi » CDRM special committee finds Suvarnabhumi prepared
Sunday, July 20th, 2008
A day after being appointed chairman of a special committee to oversee Suvarnabhumi Airport’s opening, Air Chief Marshal Chalit Pukbhasuk, head of the Royal Thai Air Force, inspected the new facility and concluded it ready for the September 28 opening.
The Council for Democratic Reform under Constitutional Monarchy (CDRM) created the committee to ensure the airport’s first day goes well.
“Suvarnabhumi began offering passenger service on September 15 [as part of the airport’s soft opening]. We encountered some minor problems, which have since been solved,” said Somchai Sawasdeepon, the airport’s general manager, who briefed Marshal Chalit during the inspection.
“Right now, there are about 100 daily flights operating at Suvarnabhumi, which is quite impressive for an airport that has yet fully opened,” he added.
After touring the grounds, Chalit concluded Suvarnabhumi is ready and there is no need to make any last minute changes.
Marshal Chalit is joined by another CDRM member, General Ruengroj Mahasaranond, armed forces supreme commander, who assumed the committee’s deputy chairman position.
Other committee members include Airports of Thailand Plc. President Chotisak Asapaviriya, Thai Airways International Plc. President Flying Officer Abhinand Sumanaseni, and Somchai.
“To ensure that everything at Suvarnabhumi Airport works on the opening day, the committee is authorised to consider all requests and suggestions submitted by airlines and other related persons, and therefore issue any orders on respective matters,” a CDRM statement issued on Monday read.
