Guest BKKvisitor Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Bangkok moved up to 15th from 26th in global rankings that measure the world's busiest airports in terms of passenger throughput. A total of 42.80 million passengers passed through Bangkok's Don Muang and Suvarnabhumi airports last year, an increase of 9.8% from 2005, according to the latest statistics released by the Airports Council International (ACI). Singapore's Changi airport, Bangkok's main rival, was ranked 22nd in the ratings by the Geneva-based global airport association. It had 35.03 million passengers, an increase of 8% from the previous year. But Bangkok lagged behind Hong Kong International Airport, which moved to 14th place in ACI rankings from 22nd with a 9.1% rise in passengers to 44.02 million. http://www.bangkokpost.com/Business/10Mar2007_biz53.php Quote
