BANGKOK'S spanking new US$3.8-billion airport has failed to receive an Aerodrome
Certificate from local civil aviation authorities, placing it in a "no man's
land" in terms of safety standards, media reports said Saturday.

Civil Aviation Department officials on Friday refused to extend an "interim"
Aerodrome Certificate _ a document initiated by the United Nations International
Civil Aviation Organization to prove that airports meet international safety
standards _ that was granted the Suvarnabhumi Airport upon its opening last
September 28.

Although airports can operate without the certificates, international airlines
have warned Thai aviation authorities that Suvarnabhumi Airport has now entered
a safety certificate "no man's land," The Nation newspaper wrote.

The Civil Aviation Department refused to renew the interim certificate it
granted the airport four months ago due to a host of infrastructural and
management problems still plaguing the new facility.

For instance, Suvarnabhumi's eastern runway was reportedly closed for repairs on
Saturday morning between 2 and 6am (3 and 7 am in Brunei), to fix a crack at the
head of the 4,000m-long strip.

Incoming flights were diverted to the western runway.

Thailand's Transport Minister Thira Haocharoen admitted that cracks had been
found on 25 of the airport's taxiways and on one runway, forcing the closure of
11 of the 50 aero-bridges. Flights were diverted to nearby U-Tapao Airbase.

Construction of the Suvarnabhumi Airport, built on a former swamp in eastern
Bangkok, was hastened by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was
ousted by a military coup on September 19 on charges of corruption and causing
disunity in the kingdom.
