Normal runway operations resume at Suvarnabhumi airport

 

BANGKOK, 2 May 2017 (NNT) – Flights can normally take off and land at both runways of Suvarnabhumi international airport after maintenance has been completed two days ahead of schedule. 

Airports of Thailand's (AOT) Suvarnabhumi Airport General Manager Sirote Duangratana said the maintenance on the northern end of the airport's east runway planned for 3 March - 2 May 2017 has been completed on 27 April 2017, allowing all aircraft, including superjumbo Airbus A380 airliners, to land and take off from 07.00 a.m. on 1 May following inspection and safety tests. 

The re-opening of the east runway came two days earlier than planned. That allowed the airport to operate at its normal capacity by 68 flights per hour. 

The airport chief said the runway maintenance had concluded well as a result of thorough planning from the airport's internal units, the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, the Bureau of Aeronautical Meteorology, the Airline Operators Committee, commercial airlines and the Immigration Bureau. 

He said the runway improvement will enable the airport to accommodate the increased flights and support the country's growth in air transports.
