Thai AirAsia to move to new Bangkok airport on Sept 25

 

Budget carrier Thai AirAsia said Wednesday all of its flights will move to Bangkok's new international airport on September 25, three days ahead of the airport's official opening.

 

Thai AirAsia, a joint venture between Thai telecom giant Shin Corp and Malaysia's AirAsia, said its 70 daily flights will shift from the existing Don Muang airport to the new airport on September 25.

 

The last 10 flights, both domestic and international, on September 24 will also fly to the new airport, the airline said.

This article from the Bangkok Post looks to be quite definitive on the taxi-and-transport situation at the new airport. Of course, that doesn't mean it is necessarily correct, but it is the most detailed explanation I've seen so far.

Air controllers ready at new airport

 

(TNA) - All systems of Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai) are now fully in place to support commercial operations of Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi Airport.

 

Aerothai demonstrated its full capacity and potential Friday morning when two international flights of Thai Airways International (THAI), the national flag carrier, simultanenously took off from Suvarnabhumi Airport's two runways in a test run prior to the new airport's officially opening for commercial services on September 28.

 

Two flights, TG8814 and TG8816 flights, bound for Hong Kong and Singapore, successfully took off from Suvarnabhmi Airport's eastern and western runways.

 

The 3,700-metre eastern runway and 4,000-metre western runways are 2.2 kilometres far apart.

 

Thirty five air traffic controllers and officials,, the agency's full personnel capacity for its standard operational services, are on duty to serve the simultanenous test run of the national airline.

 

"It's an unprecedented record, historically, as Aerothai had never served any simultanenous flight take-off," Bhuddawan Noirod, a public relations officer, told TNA.

 

Two additional THAI flights, TG8815 and TG8817 from Hong Kong and Singapore, were to land on the new airport's western and eastern runways simultanenously Friday afternoon.
