Thailand: Aviation reform plan gets nod
The govt approved Monday an aviation reform plan that aims to enhance Thailand's status as the region's aviation hub and establish a centre for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul. The plan calls for investment in airports over the next 10 years to the tune of THB406b (US$11.57b) to raise annual passenger capacity to 277m from 130m now. Industry minister Uttama Savanayana said that under the reform plan the private sector will be allowed to join investment in the airports via the public-private partnership (PPP) programme, while foreign companies will be eligible to handle airport management and hold a share of more than 51% in the MRO centre. The 10-year airport development will cover not only the upgrade of the 3 main international airports, but also 36 provincial airports. <br/>
