After the company had been putting off the job for more than six months, producer Danai Ruangsorn reported on Monday that the airport department had terminated the contract for the new traveler terminal at Trang Airport.
The department has been pursuing legal action against the contractor Port and Marine Cooperation ( PAM ) while rushing to find new contractors to assess the damage. The department anticipates that the new terminal will be finished and ready to use by March 2025.
The action comes in response to Transport Minister Manaporn Charoensri’s request to accelerate up the construction and make sure the switch is operational as soon as possible.
According to Mr. Danai, the new termnal may promote hospitality and help to boost the local economy in accordance with federal policy.
He claimed that the ministry had approved the termination of its agreement with PAM on November 8 because the business had given up its position and a letter of notification had been sent to the business.
The office had also issued an order to acquire the company’s 53-million-baht security deposit.
A committee was established on Nov 21 to analyze he lost from the , deal’s termination, promote inspections of harm caused by the , contractor’s negligence and project delay, review construction plans and determine a budget for a new contract.
Within the next 45 days, Mr. Danai predicted that the judgment would have results.

According to Mr. Danai, the office has increased security at the deserted building site, with security personnel on patrol around the clock.
