Chonburi – The Navy opened a forum this past week on the selection of contractors for U-tapao airport and Eastern Aviation City development projects.
Representatives of private firms called for more information regarding the projects, following an inquiry conducted in November. The forum will be continued until early February 2019, after which feedback will be compiled in late February.
The U-tapao airport project includes design, construction, and maintenance of the airport’s runway, taxiway, relevant systems, a second air traffic control tower, an operation center, a support operation center, an air traffic control system, and additional projects which support the airport’s main operations such as Terminal 3 project, a ground transportation center and a cargo complex.
The airport’s development plan includes related business units such as a cargo village or the Free Trade Zone (FTZ), a commercial gateway, a central utilities system, an immigration office, a customs office, government units, and non-aeronautical services.
