Suvarnabhumi » CDRM to inspect Suvarnabhumi readiness
Sunday, July 20th, 2008
The Council for Democratic Reform under Constitutional Monarchy (CDRM) will inspect Suvarnabhumi Airport before it opens on Thursday.
“The CDRM wants to make sure that everything is ready for the first day of full commercial service,” Lt Gen Phalangkoon Klaharn, CDRM spokesman, said after a meeting with Ministry of Transport and Airports of Thailand Plc. (AoT) officials.
At the meeting, CDRM representatives were briefed on the airport’s readiness and were assured it would open on time.
To help expedite the move from Bangkok International Airport (Don Muang) to Suvarnabhumi and to ensure efficiency, the council has assigned 800 soldiers to be on standby starting opening day Thursday, Sept 28.
The soldiers will remain on standby for 90 days after the opening day.
The soldiers will back up airport staff in case of a system malfunction; similar to the one experienced during the Sept 15 soft opening when a power glitch caused check-in counter computers to crash.
For example, Phalangkoon said, “They can help carry the luggage if the conveyors fail.”
