Topprofile Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Anyone knows why there are planes flying over Sukhumvit every 10 minutes since the last couple of days? Have never seen this many planes in the area.. Flying at only 1000m over the city they sure make a lot of noise..

Tropicalevo Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Could be flights returning from aborted landings at the airports that are closed in the south. (Samui, Surat and Nakhon closed since Sunday night/Monday morning.) Just a thought. Samui is now open and so maybey you will see less of them.

Thanks However one would think that they knew before taking off, if that they can land at the airport of Samui or not... I guess next couple of days will show if it's continuing or not.. Now I understand how the people living around Suvarnambhumi airport feels.. Pretty annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krungbin Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Don Muang runways are oriented 030°/210°....prevailing winds at DonMuang are coming from the north... aircraft are landing against prevailing winds... and they fly over the Sukhumvit area. As easy as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As easy as that. Yes I live near Don Muang and Mon,Tues and Wed they were flying every 20 mins over my house, reminded me of the days before the new airport opened and Don Muang was the main airport, Friday they stopped.
