SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT

Passengers may pay noise compensation
AMORNRAT MAHITTHIROOK


Airports of Thailand (AoT) is considering collecting a special fee from passengers and airlines using Suvarnabhumi airport to compensate residents affected by aircraft noise.

The AoT board, led by assistant army chief Saprang Kalayanamitr, yesterday discussed sources of funding for the compensation and came up with an idea used in Australia and Japan, where a special fee is collected from those who cause the noise pollution. Passengers and airline operators who use the airport would be charged the fee, said AoT board spokesman Chirmsak Pinthong.

The board has asked AoT to study details of the proposal and set a suitable rate before submitting its findings to the board before the end of next month. If approved, the proposal will be sent to the Transport Ministry, which will forward it for cabinet approval no later than November, he said.

''The proposed special fee is collected in several countries. This is a good thing as it will create a good moral sense. This is fair and better than using taxpayer money or AoT coffers [to compensate affected residents],'' he said.

He maintained that AoT was willing to help all affected residents. The authority would follow a cabinet resolution and the AoT board's resolution on compensation payments, he said.

The board also considered the resignation of acting AoT president Kulya Pakakrong.

Gen Saprang, who is AoT chairman, said the board agreed to have her serve as acting president until the end of the month, during which the selection of a new president will be finalised.

Mrs Kulya tendered her resignation on Aug 27 and proposed that her resignation take effect on Sept 11 as she wanted to complete her final task of evaluating the performance of Suvarnabhumi after one year of operations.

She said she would not mind continuing as acting president until Sept 30. However, if a new president was not chosen this month, she would leave the post, she said. Mrs Kulya cited health problems as the reason for her decision to leave AoT's top post.

Man overvejer at opkraeve et gebyr for dem der stoejer-altsaa passagerne i flyene, saa folk i naerheden af den nye lufthavn kan faa en kompensation fordi de ikke kan faa en ordentlig nattesoevn.
Hvordan man vil kompensere for nattesoevn bliver spaendende at hoere,maaske fortsaette med at uddele sovepiller til alle,fra boern til voksne,just ingen velovervejet loesning.

Det havde vaeret mere smart, at man havde valgt et omraade hvor der var mindre befolket og havde opkoebt arealerne omkring,saa der ikke kunne bygges boliger i stoejzonen.
Men det kan jo vaere det loeser sig i loebet af nogle aar,saa er lufthavnens startbaner muligvis sunket helt ned i haengedynget,grundet manglende pillotering,saa kun vandflyvere kan lande der,naar nu havet samtidig stiger. Shock
