Sept 7, Check-in system at Suvarnabhumi Airport Testing
September 5th, 2006Moret than 100 airlines will participate in a test run of Suvarnabhumi Airport’s check-in system on Thursday to work out any kinks before the commencement of international operation on Sept 28.
Somchai Sawasdeepon, Suvarnabhumi Airport general manager, said the test’s primary aim is to ensure that all 460 check-in counters are working and the luggage conveyor system is fully operational.
Thursday’s system check will be the first time that both the domestic and international check-in counters will be used simultaneously. The four test flights conducted last week used the different counters at different times.
Non-aviation services could make more revenue for AoT
September 5th, 2006Airports of Thailand Plc (AoT) is aiming to sharply increase its revenue from non-aeronautical sources, which could overtake contributions from its current main money-spinners aircraft landing and parking fees.
The operator of Thailand’s six international airports is working to raise the percentage of non-aeronautical revenue from 40% at present to 50% in the next fiscal year, and to 60% of its total in three to four years.
Instrumental to the strategic change will be revenue from Suvarnabhumi Airport where charges such as space rentals, service charges, concession fees and profit sharing have been the subject of criticism from airlines, retailers and other tenants.
Train connecting new international airport with central Bangkok to open next year
September 5th, 2006A rail system connecting central Bangkok to the new international airport is 40 percent complete and is scheduled for completion in November 2007.
The Airport Link to Suvarnabhumi Airport will include a direct express train that will take 15 minutes from the Makkasan train station, which connects to the city’s mass transit subway system, said a statement from Airports of Thailand.
Another train will make eight stops throughout the city, taking 30 minutes to travel the 28 kilometers (17 miles) to the airport and linking with both the subway and Skytrain systems in Bangkok.
