U-Tapao Airport Scales Down Expansion Amid Rail Delays Photo courtesy of Airport Technology U-Tapao Airport's highly anticipated expansion is being notably scaled down due to persistent delays in the Bangkok-Rayong high-speed rail project. Initially envisioned to accommodate 12 million passengers annually, the plan has been downsized significantly. This change comes as the rail project, critical for passenger connectivity, remains stalled for almost five years, fostering uncertainty.

Body placed next to passenger on Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne to Doha
Sure glad I don't fly Qatar. At least they wouldn't have talked my ear off. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/26/australia/qatar-airways-flight-dead-passenger-body-intl-hnk/index.html An airline traveler has spoken of his shock after cabin crew sat him next to the body of a fellow passenger who had died during the flight. The female passenger collapsed in the aisle beside Mitchell Ring and his partner Jennifer Colin during their Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne to Doha, they told CNN affiliate Nine Network. The Australian couple were on their way to Venice for a vacation. Ring recalled watching the crew try to revive the woman. “Unfortunately, the lady couldn’t be saved, which was pretty heartbreaking to watch,” he told Nine. -

U-Tapao Airport Scales Down Expansion Amid Rail Delays
Photo courtesy of Airport Technology U-Tapao Airport's highly anticipated expansion is being notably scaled down due to persistent delays in the Bangkok-Rayong high-speed rail project. Initially envisioned to accommodate 12 million passengers annually, the plan has been downsized significantly. This change comes as the rail project, critical for passenger connectivity, remains stalled for almost five years, fostering uncertainty. Keeree Kanjanapas, head of U-Tapao International Aviation (UTA), confirmed that while the airport's development and the Eastern Aviation City initiative will continue, they will proceed on a reduced scale. “We can no longer wait. Instead of litigation, we’ve opted to collaborate with the EEC,” Keeree stated. Originally set to transform the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), the 290-billion-baht project spanned a 6,500 rai area. The delays, resulting from numerous agreement revisions, have led UTA to reconsider the expansion strategy. The new plan might slash the airport's passenger capacity to five million, down from the original 12 million, with the larger Eastern Aviation City project also undergoing re-evaluation. “We’re prepared to move forward once we receive the necessary approvals. We urge the EEC for prompt clarity,” Keeree further expressed, highlighting the importance of the high-speed rail's purpose for investment decisions—be it tourism, international travel, or commuter traffic from Bangkok. UTA CEO Wirawat Panthawangkun emphasized that while their contract allows for adjustments, these won't alter its core terms, seeking flexibility beyond that of the rail agreement. He also questioned what benefits could offset the tunnel beneath the terminal, intended for the rail line, if the train does not materialize. Facing the possibility of proceeding without the rail link, UTA is navigating through uncertainties as the EEC explores potential tax incentives for investors, pending additional legislation from the Finance Ministry. This strategic pivot reflects the firm’s commitment to maintaining the project’s viability amidst unclear future infrastructure developments reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-26 -
