Bangkok reopens aging Don Muang airport
I’ve been chronicling the various problems with Bangkok’s much-delayed, much-vaunted new airport. Due to the many problems with the new airport, the government has been forced to reopen Don Muang airport to handle some of the domestic flights:
Don Muang will handle about 140 flights daily, including some of Thai Airways’ domestic flights and all domestic routes for budget carriers Nok Air and One-Two-Go.
Bangkok’s US$3.8 billion Suvarnabhumi Airport, which opened in September last year, was intended to be Southeast Asia’s leading air transportation hub. But it has been plagued by a host of widely publicised problems, including cracks in taxiways, a shortage of toilets, dozens of design flaws and a long list of corruption allegations.
