webfact Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Airports of Thailand posts worst quarter FILE PHOTO: An empty immigration hall is pictured at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International airport amid the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Thailand, June 3, 2020. REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha BANGKOK (Reuters) - Airports of Thailand Pcl <AOT.BK> on Tuesday booked its worst quarter ever after volumes plummeted due to coronavirus-related restrictions. State-owned AOT reported a loss of 2.96 billion baht ($95 million) for the three months to June 30 versus a profit of 5.89 billion a year earlier. The shortfall was larger than the 2.1 billion baht loss expected, according to four analysts polled by Refinitiv. Foreign tourist arrivals in Thailand fell 66% in the first half of 2020 reflecting global travel restrictions, including some from Thailand's aviation regulator. The country has put discussions of a 'travel bubble' on hold. AOT's revenue, including landing charges and concessions, fell 88% to 1.7 billion baht, it said. Flight and passenger numbers fell by 88% and 95%, respectively, said AOT, which manages the country’s main Suvarnabhumi Airport and five others. For the nine months to June 30, it recorded 438,000 flights and 65.15 million passengers, down 35% and 39%, respectively. It will proceed with the construction of a satellite terminal in Bangkok, it said, but delay its opening until 2022.

Work when there are no people. But why delay the opening until 2022? Are they lacking funds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other country ans they would be called out on this and forced to resign in shame at fabricating lies. He is either talking a load of rollocks, genuinely delusional or is misleading the public. Either way any decent politician would resign. Edited August 12, 2020 by Laughing Gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
