reader Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 From The Nation Airports of Thailand Plc will proceed with its plan to transform 723 rai of land adjacent Suvarnabhumi International Airport into “airport city” now that the Interior Ministry has amended the zoning code in Samut Prakan to allow the project to proceed, its president said. The Interior Ministry recently published an announcement in the Royal Gazette saying it had given approval for farmland around Suvarnabhumi airport in Samut Prakan to be used for infrastructure and buildings, AOT president Nitinai Sirismatthakarn said. AOT will begin the project by opening bidding for a contractor to build a bridge and road from the airport to the 723-rai plot as well as install basic infrastructure, including piped water and electricity cables, he said. After this is completed, AOT will select a private company to develop the airport city project into a hub for the trade of agricultural products, a centre for monitoring the quality of exports, and a distribution centre for export goods. Warehouses will also be built for online vendors and imported goods, Nitinai said. alvnv 1 Quote
