Suvarnabhumi Offers Visitors a Free Headache

Suvarnabhumi airport opened to much hoopla. It has replaced the charmingly old-school Don Mueang International as Bangkok's main airport. It wasn't until after Suvarnabhumi officially opened that the problems began. Cracks on the runways soon became the least of the Airport commission's problems. Aside from passenger problems like lack of easily accessible bathrooms and endless queues at immigration, airlines have balked at increased user fees. In some cases, airlines are now offering fewer flights to Bangkok.

For Suvarnabhumi to become one the world's best airports, AoT, subcontractors and concessionaires must all make a collective effort to solve the airport's problem.
