New Airport fees for Suvarnabhumi Airport
August 28th, 2006The international departure tax would be increased by Bt200 to Bt700 and domestic passengers would incur a Bt100 fee, up from a current Bt50. The increase would be effective from February 1, 2007.
Bangkok-Airport-Fee
AOT operates Suvarnabhumi Airport. It had planned to introduce the new taxes upon the opening of the new airport on September 28. Meanwhile, new landing fees levied on aircraft using the airport would be imposed from April 1, 2007. That is a six-month delay from the original schedule.
AOT said it was postponing the new fee to attract airlines to Suvarnabhumi. The new landing fee is a 15-per-cent increase on that charged at Don Muang airport.
Decorating the gateway to Southeast Asia
August 24th, 2006While the structural architecture of the new airport may look modern and high-tech, the interior reflects its ‘Thainess’ through art
For most of us the central attraction of Suvarnabhumi airport during its complex history to completion has been the controversies shrouding it. Now, as the last dust of the construction cloud settles, the general public can see for itself if the new airport’s appearance – which is of no less consequence than the functionality of the operation itself – has been a success.
Criticisms of the airport’s appearance have rated highly on the list of complaints levelled at it, specifically the appropriateness of the application of its Western architectural aesthetic within a Thai cultural context.
Security system & staff set ready for Suvarnabhumi international airport
August 22nd, 2006
Thailand’s Immigration Bureau Police reiterated the readiness of both its staff and technical equipment in providing services at the new Suvarnabhumi international airport, with a total of 1,380 immigration officers ready to be deployed from the beginning of September, Pol. Lt-Gen. Suwat Thamrongsrisakul said Tuesday.
Regarding concerns about terrorists entering the kingdom, the commissioner said the security system at the new airport is the highest technology, with data tracking processing systems monitoring both ‘black’ lists and ‘watch’ lists upgraded to the latest capabilities.
Passengers appearing on either the black list or watch list can be detected within 20 seconds upon their passport check, he said.
