huggybear Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The papers and the news are talking a countrywide strike tomorrow. Stoppages in water and electricity. Will Suvarnabhumi still be able to operate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doczenith83 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 According to many reports and members, things will remain fine at the Int'l Airport. Suvarnabhumi is pretty much like a main artery to a heart. If that gets shut down... Chaos and economic disaster will ensue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennkate Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I am sure swampy will have emergency generators for all ESSENTIAL services. I doubt air con would be classed as essential. Just sweat it out and be on that big bird or in a Taxi real quick. Not a place to be hanging about in thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suvarnabhumi is pretty much like a main artery to a heart. If that gets shut down... Chaos and economic disaster will ensue.... A massive international hub of an airport. Shutting down the airport would trickle to many parts of Asia and other parts of the world for business and travel plans. I am curious as to the amount of traffic that arrives/departs from Suva every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenk3z Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 It is my understanding that official corruption caused the construction of the runways to be substandard. The runways are something used by the airport every day. Do you really think there are backup power generators standing by? kenk3z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Clifton Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Were they CTX generators? Too much rice, not enough protein. Edited September 3, 2008 by Tony Clifton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order for BKK to retain its accreditation there must be an operational back up power supply for the tower, flight control mechanisms and key essential services. If this is not certified as operational, US and EU carriers will not fly into the airport. Especially important now as none of the airlines can afford to lose their equipment.
