Thailand: Suvarnabhumi feels air traffic heat
Suvarnabhumi airport staff are being drafted in to help speed up passenger flow through immigration to cope with a spike in passenger numbers. Responding to criticism about long queues at immigration checkpoints, particularly outbound channels, the airport's GM, Sirote Duangratana, said staff will help passengers fill in departure and arrival forms. Staff would also be brought in to make sure all X-ray channels before passengers head to immigration counters are manned, he said. "The number of passengers using Suvarnabhumi airport continues to rise dramatically," Sirote said, adding the airport currently handles almost 200,000 passengers and 1,000 flights daily. He said the number of passengers rose by 10% in the first 2 months of this year. <br/>
