AOT seeks more foreign-denominated income
September 8th, 2006Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) is studying a plan to seek more foreign-denominated income in a bid to match the diversification of its long-term yen-currency debts into several major foreign currencies.
The company is also planning to develop an entertainment complex on 160 hectares near Suvarnabhumi Airport in an effort to boost its non-aeronautical revenue, as air-travel-related income is declining.
AOT president Chotisak Asapaviriya said the company was likely to collect more foreign-currency income as foreign air travel was expected to grow more rapidly than local air travel.
Customs inspections speedy service at Suvarnabhumi Airport
September 7th, 2006Customs Department has adjusted procedures at Suvarnabhumi Airport to ensure faster service.
Paisal Chuenjit, director of the Passenger Processing Division at Suvarnabhumi Airport’s Customs Bureau, said a total of 300 customs officials will service the new airport when it opens later this month, up from 210 at Bangkok International Airport (Don Muang).
Officials will be divided into four shifts. There will be 20 counters for travelers to declare goods, each equipped with an X-ray machine.
Paisal revealed that a new data checking system will be implemented. Passenger and flight information will be forwarded to the bureau before an aircraft arrives. Officials hope this system quickens the declaration of goods at customs and immigration procedures.
DCAP Confident Suvarnabhumi Airport will have Power
September 7th, 2006Suvarnabhumi Airport, which opens September 28, will always have a sufficient supply of electricity, according to Wanchai Sinaroj, acting general manger of District Cooling System and Power Plants Co., Ltd. (DCAP).
DCAP is a joint venture between three state enterprises: PTT Plc., EGAT Plc. and the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA). DCAP was created specifically to manage the new airport’s power needs.
DCAP’s natural gas power plant has a maximum capacity of 50 megawatts.
According to Wanchai, Suvarnbabhumi Airport’s power generation is highly reliable, but in case of emergency the MEA will carry the load.
