Kasikorn Research Centre (KRC) recommended that agencies involved with Suvarnabhumi Airport consider expanding the hub to keep pace with a rapidly growing aviation industry.
According to International Air Transport Association (IATA), in the next five years, commercial passenger service will grow by 5.6 percent per year, while cargo business will grow by 6.3 percent per year.
“Suvarnabhumi Airport covers 8,000 acres, making it possible to host a maximum of four runways, 112 flights per hour, 100 million passengers per year and six million tonnes of cargo per year,” KRC analysts wrote in their report. It will be necessary to expand Suvarnabhumi. Agencies have to start working on it right now, otherwise we may not be able to serve future growth and may not be able to become the regional hub,” KRC analysts reported.
For the time being, Suvarnabhumi has two runways, and can accommodate 45 million passengers per year, 76 flights per hour and three millions tonnes of cargo per year. During the airport’s second phase of construction, there are plans to add two more runways. (TNA)
