Suvarnabhumi » Million-dollar toilets to be added at Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007Suvaranabhumi Airport operators are to take space from Customs, security and Thai Airways International to build new toilets for passengers at a cost of 40 million baht (more than $1 million).
Airports of Thailand President Chotisak Asapaviriya acknowledged the scathing criticism of passengers and the public over the lack of toilets.
He said AOT intends to invest 40 million baht to build more toilet facilities because Suvarnabhumi has fared poorly on this issue. Over 200 toilets for both men and women will be added, he said. But he estimated passengers and airport staff would have to hold for about four months to await completion of construction.
Making way for more pressing demands of basic human need will be “some office space” of Thai Airways International on the second floor, as well as some Customs, Immigration, security and retail space on the fourth floor, the main area for passengers.
On another matter, Mr Chotisak said he was confident that no-frills airlines will soon stop insisting on returning to Don Muang airport.
Several low-cost airlines have asked to operate from Don Muang, which closed at the time of the commercial opening of Suvarnabhumi airport nearly a month ago. Mr Chotisak said a meeting between AoT and representatives of all budget carriers operating at Suvarnabhumi has been scheduled. A tentative conclusion has been reached for Don Muang to serve military carriers and the Royal Thai Air Force, chartered flights, and small and private aircraft.
He also said he needs more convincing evidence on passenger loads to justify building a new terminal exclusively for low-cost carriers at Suvarnabhumi. (TNA)
