Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister and finance minister, has backed the construction of a new airport in Kalasin, the province’s northern territory.
The state has set aside money for a feasibility study for an aircraft, according to Mr. Srettha, who visited the area over the weekend. He declared that the government did take into account the study’s findings and act appropriately.
Due to its strategic location between Kalasin and Maha Sarakham, which would help the fresh aircraft to provide both of its regions, Yang Talat area is being considered as the airport’s area.
According to him, the novel airports may be called Sarasin, which is a mixture of Maha Sarakham and Kalasin.
According to him, Kalasin needs its own airport to draw in more tourists to its tourist attractions, increase imports, and entice more opportunities, he added.
The authorities held a public platform to ask people for their opinions on the construction of an airport in Kalasin in June 2021.
They applauded it, so the next move was to conduct a study to assess the value of constructing an aircraft in the area. The Transportation Ministry will receive the results.
Mr. Srettha expressed his concern over the state of health care in Kalasin following the visit, and he has urged the case to demand more funding.
He also emphasized the government’s dedication to combating domestic debt and the spread of cocaine.
Suriya Jungrungreangkit, the ministry’s transportation minister, stated that the government’s” Burn Thailand, Aviation Hub” vision will be realized more quickly with the West Expansion and the South Terminal at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
In the next five decades, Suvarnabhumi Airport will be one of the best flights in the world, according to Mr. Srettha’s announcement last year, and Thailand will become a regional aircraft hub.
Before the president’s term expires, Mr. Suriya said the government plans to organize bidding to find companies for the task. He did, however, claim that the North Expansion did never continue for the time being.
When Skytrax travels to Thailand in the first few days of the month, Mr. Suriya said he will meet with Skytrax members.
