Suvarnabhumi airport’s 7.8-billion-baht expansion project is expected to begin in July with bidding to choose a contractor, Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob said on Tuesday.
Already approved by the cabinet, Airports of Thailand’s (AoT) board and the government’s committee on Suvarnabhumi airport’s capacity enhancement, the so-called East Expansion project will take two years and five months to finish, said the minister.
When the expanded area is opened by March 2025, the airport will have the capacity to handle up to 65 million passengers per year, from 45 million passengers per year currently, he said.
This 44% increase in capacity is in line with the projected number of passengers using Suvarnabhumi airport by that year, he said.
