Gaybutton Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 BANGKOK, Aug 17 (TNA) Transport Minister Pongsak Raktapongpaisal on Thursday affirmed the Suvarnabhumi Airport is ready to open for commercial services on September 28, but might have some problems on equipment transfer in an initial period. His affirmation came after former prime minister Banharn Silpa-arch, who is Chat Thai Party leader, suggested the opening of the new international airport be postponed. Mr. Pongsak said the airport had already been in place for services while the Don Muang International Airport is so crowded now. He conceded there might be some difficulties in the equipment transfer or the opening in an initial period. But it is considered usual for the transfer of offices to a new location. He viewed unless the new airport was opened now, various systems and equipment already put in place would be dilapidated. Quote
