Though long delayed thanks to political instability, construction on the second phase of Suvarnabhumi International Airport is set to begin in the near future.
In a statement to MCOT, Airports of Thailand (AOT) board chairman Sita Divari said that Suvarnabhumi’s second phase construction would allow it to accommodate a further 15 million passengers. At present, the airport’s ability to accommodate 45 million passengers is being regularly overtaxed, thanks to annual traffic of well over 50 million.
The chairman expressed the board’s confidence that it could complete the expansion project and have it servicing travelers by 2017.
