Transport Thailand to Enhance Aviation Hub Status with Suvarnabhumi MRO Centre
File photo for reference only Thailand is pushing forward with plans to bolster its aviation hub credentials by developing a state-of-the-art Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) centre at Suvarnabhumi Airport. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to heighten the airport's competitive edge on the international stage. Air Chief Marshal Manat Chavanaprayoon, Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) and Chairman of the Aviation Hub Committee for MRO development, recently underscored the necessity of this facility. Despite 19 years of operations, Suvarnabhumi lacks an integrated maintenance centre, crucial for a comprehensive aviation hub. A dedicated section of Suvarnabhumi's land has been earmarked for this MRO facility. However, a tailored master plan must still be crafted to ensure the project aligns with operational needs and practical use. Manat highlighted that this development would offer airlines at Suvarnabhumi access to high-quality, on-site maintenance services. The project, designed as a public-private partnership (PPP), has attracted interest from Thai aviation maintenance companies eager to lead the initiative. Additionally, global giants like Airbus, Boeing, and Singapore-based ST Engineering have expressed interest in investing in the MRO hub. ST Engineering, for instance, is considering relocating operations from Changi Airport to Suvarnabhumi due to rising land lease costs and space repurposing at Changi. Manat stressed the importance of Thai enterprises spearheading the project, with international partners contributing under a unified structure. This approach aims to reduce operating costs and attract further investment. "This is a long-term project. If we announce our readiness, it will help attract more investment," he noted. Addressing concerns about potential competition with U-Tapao's existing MRO facility, Manat clarified that the two will complement each other. While Suvarnabhumi will focus on line maintenance and light to medium checks, U-Tapao will handle more intensive maintenance that requires longer durations. The development plan for Suvarnabhumi also includes establishing a comprehensive aviation training centre to meet the demand for skilled maintenance personnel. By leading these efforts, Thailand aims to solidify its position as a pivotal player in the global aviation industry. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-05-13 -

How Many Notorious Foreign Criminals Are Hiding Out in Thailand?
It's getting more difficult. Those that have been here many years under the radar might manage it. More recent ones though. Sooner or later their passports will expire, even if they are using another identity. Renewal time may present a problem, but if they can renew, but never leave the country, they may continue to lay low. Nowadays the finger printing might be the downfall. Do the Thai authorities fingerprint travellers departing by land or sea? They have done by air for a few years now. Are these prints checked against any foreign databases? Or just to check who enters, leaves? -

Palestine , Who (you) Should Help Them ...
Disagree, it's crystal clear, to quote: Israel has blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza as it demands Hamas agree to a US plan for a ceasefire extension. Collective punishment, especially blocking food and medical supplies is a War Crime., though as we know Israel is protected in the Security Council by the US. No further reply on this matter. Agree to disagree. -
