Thailand : Airport investment budget raised

Airport investment budget raised
17/03/2009

The cabinet on Tuesday gave Airports of Thailand (AoT) approval to increase the investment budget for Suvarnabhumi airport in the first phase from 123.92 billion baht to 135.17 billion baht, deputy government spokesman Supachai Jaisamut said.

He said the AoT was also been given the green light to use 5.89 billion baht from its revenue to alleviate the problem of noise pollution at Suvarnabhumi in 2009.

Next year, the company would be allowed to spend another 5.33 billion baht on this problem.

Raising the company's funds would reflect the company's actual spending, and the government wanted people living around Suvarnabhumi not to have to suffer from the noise from the airport, Mr Supachai said.

perhaps the PAD would like to stump for interruption of revenue?

Another show like PAD put on last time and there will not be enough flights coming in to worry about noise.
