Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport – severely damaged in the area’s worst flooding in decades last year – will open again for business on March 6, Airports of Thailand Plc president Anirut Thanomkulbutra said on Monday Jan. 30.
Mr. Anirut said that only the eastern runway will be opened, The Bangkok Post reported.
Budget airline Nok Air has said that it will resume flights from Don Mueang, but Orient Thai Air has not decided whether to return, he said.
In other airport news, regulars repair of Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport will begin in April, Anirut said. The repairs will cover a 1,620 square-meter area and will cost THB150 million.
They should be done in two months and won’t affect the operation of the airport, he said, as several consultations with all related groups have been made on how to prevent any delays.
