Thailand: AoT to mull Don Mueang upgrade plan
The third-phase development of Don Mueang airport will be proposed to the Airports of Thailand board for approval this month. AoT president Nitinai Sirismatthakarn said Wednesday that a master plan of the airport development worth more than THB10b will be forwarded to the AoT board March 23. In the third phase, the agency will carry out maintenance work on the airport's old terminal building for domestic flights. The AoT will also build another terminal as a junction terminal to connect with the Red Line's Bang Sue-Rangsit link and an Airport Rail Link extension. Don Mueang airport handles 80,000-110,000 travellers from 650-680 flights a day, or 28m passengers a year. Nitinai said the third phase, which was expected to be completed in 2021, will increase the airport's capacity to 40m passengers a year. <br/>
