Don Muang i Bangkok ser ut til å få leve videre
Klippet fra www.Pattayamail.com
Det ser jammen ut til at Thailenderne kommer til å holde liv i Don Muang når den nye flyplassen åpner en gang i 2006. Ser ut til at den nye ikke er stor nok når den åpner..
Ser ut til å skje i alle land det der.
Don Muang may become hub for budget carriers
Don Muang International Airport may continue servicing low-cost airlines, chartered flights and private jets when Suvarnabhumi International Airport comes into operation in June next year.
Deputy Transport Minister, Mahidol Chandrangkun, announced after a meeting with the Don Muang airport committee that the decision was to avoid an instant congestion at the new airport.
He said low-cost carriers served some five million passengers per year and the figure has been increasing by ten percent annually. With low-cost airline operations, Suvarnabhumi Airport would reach its initial capacity (45 million passengers) in just four years. Without them, it would take six years.
The committee will discuss the plan for Don Muang’s utilization in detail in the next two weeks. Plans include using terminal one for low-cost carriers and chartered flights, the domestic terminal for small planes and private jets, and the second international terminal will be rented out on a short-term basis for exhibitions.
Mahidol said most low-cost airlines would prefer Don Muang to cut cost while some might opt for Suvarnabhumi for international connecting flights.
Nok Air Chief Executive Officer, Patee Sarasin, has announced recently that the airline would lobby the government to position Don Muang airport as a hub for low-cost carriers. “It will help us to cut cost and at the same time help our passengers to save traveling time and expenses,” he said.
