Thai aviation set to upgrade traffic control
Thailand is preparing to install an upgraded aviation system by the end of this year to better manage its bustling air traffic. The system will enable Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (ART) to better direct traffic and serve more flights, which will put the country on track toward its goal of becoming a regional aviation hub in Southeast Asia, Transport minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said Monday. According to ART, the country's airports last year served more than 900,000 flights, which is up 9-10% on average depending on the city. The growth exceeded that of the Asia and Pacific region in the past year, which was between 6% and 7%, and far more than the global growth rate of 4.6% annually. The number of flights being handled at the nation's airports is technically beyond capacity. <br/>
