womble Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Transport Minister: bomb plan in England will not cause a delay of opening of Suvarnbhumi Airport Transport Minister Pongsak Raktapongpaisal (พงศักดิ์ รักตพงศ์ไพศาล) has affirmed that the plan to bomb aircrafts in England will not postpone the opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport, while urging airlines to be more cautious on matters with liquid materials. Following the interception of the recent terrorism plot in England, Mr. Pongsak has assigned Airports of Thailand to cooperate with Thai Airways in intensifying the transport security measures. He refused to reveal the security plans, but admitted that passengers from Europe may face with some inconvenience during this period. In the meantime, he has requested passengers to arrive at the airport before their flight schedules as the airport has to check all flights before they will be allowed to take off. He confirmed that this event will not impact on the opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is set on September 28th, and the number of flights will not be lessened as well. Source: Thai National News Bureau Public Relations Department - 11 August 2006 Usually when a government minister says something won't happen it happens, so can we conclude that the Government will use security problems as an excuse to delay the opening, i'd say almost certainly they will now use this to cover up the fact the airport isn't ready.
