The plan, already approved by the board, aims to boost the airports' capacity to serve a total of 243.7 million passengers. The budget covers the construction of a passenger terminal in the north of Suvarnabhumi Airport, which will boost the airport’s capacity by another 40 million passengers per year. It also covers phase 3 of Don Mueang Airport’s expansion and phase 2 of the Chiang Mai Airport expansion. He added that AOT could afford the huge investment, due to its financial strength. Presently, AOT runs six international airports: Don Mueang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Chiang Rai and Suvarnabhumi.

30la Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It is really strange how in Thailand we react to negative news! There are billions of Baht to invest in a tourism in decline that has no chance of recovering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, placing the nation's top airports under a single operator gives that operator a financial stranglehold in any negotiations or operational issues with the State.
