Courts dismisses cases concerning Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport Thailand

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The Supreme Administrative Court on Wednesday ruled that Airports of Thailand (AoT) should continue to be responsible for solving the problem of noise pollution of residential areas around Suvarnabhumi airport, as set out in a cabinet resolution of May 29, 2007.

The  court dismissed the petition submitted by a number of people living near the airport, who said the cabinet resolution was unfair to them. In its judgement, the court upheld the cabinet resolution, saying it was  legitimate, and said  the  Airports of Thailand (AoT), which operates the Bangkok airport, had actually taken measures to solve the noise problem, in line with the cabinet resolution.

About 80 people living in the affected area were at the court to hear the ruling.



Special tour packages for transit passengers at Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok Thailand

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Thailand’s tourism related agencies on Monday (1 June 2009) launched 15 special tour packages in Bangkok and its environs to attract transfer passengers making stopovers of 12 hours or less at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, in an attempt to boost the country’s tourism industry.

The campaign which targets transit passenger has been jointly launched by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the Airports of Thailand (AoT), the Immigration Bureau, Thai Airways International (THAI), and the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA).

TAT chairman Veerasak Kowsurat said that the campaign is aimed at boosting the country’s economy and increasing local incomes.

“Transit passengers who must wait at Suvarnabhumi Airport between 6 and 12 hours can take a brief tour of Bangkok and its surrounding provinces. We hope that the quick first impression will encourage them to come back here for a longer stay,” Mr. Veerasak said.

The TAT chairman said that the activities include Bangkok city tours focusing on cultural and historical sites such as a boat ride and a Grand Palace tour, as well as the shopping activities in downtown Bangkok.

Tourists can also opt to visit nearby Samutprakarn province to see a crocodile farm, the Ancient City (Muang Boran), and the Erawan Museum, or spend their time on golf courses or Thai traditional massages and spas, according to Mr. Veerasak.

Mr. Veerasak said that 500-baht airport fees will be exempted for transfer passengers who join selected tours, upon checking in again for their onward flights, adding that all immigration formalities will be facilitated.

The TAT chairman added that the campaign will last for two years, expecting to bring in nearly 200 million Baht income.

Mr. Veerasak also said an increase of the income depends on the varieties of tour packages and the inauguration of the so-call airport link, a rail service linking Suvarnabhumi Airport to downtown Bangkok, scheduled to begin operation in December 2009.
