Thai economy to greatly benefit from Suvarnabhumi Airport
Transport Minister Pongsak Raktapongpaisal has expressed
confidence that the Thai economy will benefit hugely once Bangkok’s new
Suvarnabhumi Airport is opened for commercial services late this month.
Speaking at a seminar last week in Bangkok, he said Suvarnabhumi Airport would
not only be an improved facility for commercial passengers, but it would also
become a gateway that could build added value to the Thai economy in terms of
trade, transport and tourism expansion.
He said the current airport at Don Muang is only capable of accommodating some
38 million passengers a year, due both to its size and its relatively old age
when compared to other regional airports such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Due to
the restricted landing facilities at Don Muang, it has been calculated that the
airport loses approximately 500,000 baht of potential income per flight.
Suvarnabhumi Airport on the other hand, when commercially opened, could allow
airplanes to land on its two runways and accommodate more than 45 million
passengers per year, he noted.
Allied with a comparative geologically advantage that Thailand has over other
countries in the region, in terms of tourist sites and transit spots, this
should make it easier for Bangkok to become ‘the’ regional aviation hub for SE
Asia, he pointed out.
Once Suvarnabhumi Airport is opened for commercial services, Pongsak said he
also expects the building of the planned Suvarnabhumi City to follow shortly
afterward. Communities in the vicinity of the new airport will expand rapidly
with the increased trade and economic activities, once the city is completely
built, he indicated. This is expected to have a major positive impact on both
the industrial and tourism sectors in the area. - (TNA)
