The new passenger drop-off lane is one of the measures to be put in place before Songkran Festival in April when the airport expects a spike in users, airport director Wijit Kaesaithiam said on Friday.
He said that from March 1, all taxis entering the airport must do so only via the passenger drop-off lane, except those who are bringing passengers requiring special assistance, or use wheelchairs. In such cases, the taxi should drop the passengers off at Gate 5 of Terminal 1 Building instead.
