AoT to Restore Don Mueang Terminals
27th Oct 2012
The AoT, or Airports of Thailand, have laid down plans to restore Don Mueang Airport's International terminal, as well as its cargo building, for its aims to support the passenger and cargo operations of some low-cost airlines.
Anirut Thanomkulbutra, the current president of the AoT, announced that the restoration will commence next year, and they are looking to finish it in three years. The expected result is that the airport will be able to handle more passengers, or around 36 million passengers per year.
Three weeks ago, Don Mueang Airport restored all its services for both international and domestic flights of low-cost carriers, such as Thai AirAsia. Around 20,000 passengers were served on that first day, through approximately 400 flights.
Shuttle services from Suvarnabhumi Airports to Don Mueang and vice-versa, were also provided by AoT for free.
In the meantime, Tassapon Bijleveld, Thai AirAsia's CEO, confirmed the preparedness of the airport to face cases of floods in the future.
Thai AirAsia is planning to acquire more aircraft in the coming years, and add more flights to India and China. It is also seen to have an increase in the number of passengers to around 15 million in the next three years.
