Bid urged for management of 3 provincial airports

Deputy Transport Minister Thaworn Senneam

 

The Department of Airports should call a bid for professional management of its three provincial airports in Udon Thani, Tak, and Burirum, said Deputy Transport Minister Thaworn Senneam.

 

Earlier, the state agency was keen on hiring Aiports of Thailand (AOT) for the task.

 

He said the department should offer the opportunity to other parties besides AOT, adding that the three airports are state asset that need to be managed by a qualified company serving the best interest of the country.

 

If state enterprises or private companies are allowed to manage these three airports, the department should also apply the same method for the management of its other airports.

So the need for a joint venture between Thai companies and China state-owned companies?

Like CP Group JV building the 3-city light rail system?

Is Thai-smooth-as-silk a state asset?

Well lets be honest a private company will not do any worse than the overblown incompetent AOT will it .
