According to the Airports of Thailand ( AoT), the Suvarnabhumi Airport master plan is being revised to give terminal construction and expansion projects priority.
According to AoT producer Kirati Kijmanawat, the new step of the master plan needs to be modified to speed up the construction of new people and the expansion of existing ones over the next ten years.
The western growth, the southeastern terminal, and the Satellite 2 tower are all examined in the master plan’s investment analysis.
Which of the three jobs may be launched first after the master plan is revised?
When a project is chosen, it will be designed, which will take about a year to finish, with design scheduled to start in 2026.
Mr Kirati insisted the initiative to develop the eastern part of Suvarnabhumi Airport’s major switch, which was approved at a cost of 10 billion ringgit, is pressing forward.
The development plan for the nation’s gateway expansion project has been modified. He predicted that the buying process for construction companies will start in August.
The tower’s eastern growth may include 15 million passengers to the airport’s total handling capacity, now standing at 60 million passengers. This year, passenger traffic through the major terminal is expected to reach 65 million, bouncing up close to post- Covid- 19 epidemic levels.
The initiative aims to develop the main terminal place by 60, 000 square feet. A four-story office building, a parking lot, and a sidewalk program connecting the main terminal are present.
In light of the continuous rise in air travel demands, Mr. Kirati said the southeastern terminal project will ultimately need to be constructed. Design is expected to take about four years, and it will only take a few more years before the government approves and implements the job.
Mr. Kirati has made progress in the development of the nation’s second-largest gateway, which offers primarily low-cost flights on both domestic and international routes.
He stated that the most recent Don Mueang Airport development plan’s style may be finalized in 2014.
The AoT has likewise prepared 36 billion pounds to help pay for the job, which will involve constructing a new global terminal next to the defunct home terminal.
The existing global terminals 1 and 2 may be combined into a single unit, creating a private connector.
The AoT oversees the operations of six key flights: Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang as well as Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai flights. Immediately, customers across the six airports is estimated to approach 140 million passengers this year, which is near to post- pandemic figures.
