Gumballl Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I've read in earlier posts that the new Bangkok airport will be opening sometime next year (2006). Does anyone know what it will be called? What about the IATA airport code (the 3-letter code)? I wonder if folks will still continue to refer to Bangkok as BKK, when they write in "shorthand". BTW, my guess is that if the Thai gov't could have it their way, the IATA code for the new airport would be HUB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aughie Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 They could have a national lottery. You pay 50 baht and if you win you get to name the airport. On the side all the bookies will take bets on which of Taskin's relatives will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Other_Mac Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Its going to be fun listening to the non Thai Aircrew trying to pronounc it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I imagine they'll pronounce it the same way they pronounce Don Muang. "BANG-KOK". (For anyone who's wondering, it's pronounced Soo-wa-na-poom.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyuiop Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Suvarnabhumi Airport and it will adopt the BKK tag <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My understanding was that it will be officially known as the New Bangkok International Airport NBIA, although this would not help with the 3 digit code.

jingjingna Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I'll hazard a guess : SVM for the new airport and Don Muang will keep the BKK code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Pat Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Suvarnabhumi Airport <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pronounced "Suvan-a-bum" right? To save embarressment, why not spell it that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
