Suvarnabhumi International Airport
The new Suvarnabhumi airport due to be completed in 2004 is located in the
Samut Prakarn province of Thailand, approx. 30km east of Bangkok. Construction
of the Second Bangkok International Airport (SBIA) began on 9 November
2001 and is expected to be completed by December 2004 although necessary testing
means that the official opening date is 12 August 2005.
Once completed, Suvarnabhumi will replace Don Muang as Bangkok's international
airport, relegating the latter to domestic-only status. Don Muang is currently
the world's 22nd busiest airport and the busiest in Southeast Asia but
it has already reached its full capacity at 30 million passengers per annum.
Suvarnabhumi
eventually will be able to cope with 100 million passengers per year and
will have four runways with which to do this.
Airport Access
Road access to the new airport will be provided by a series of new highways
connected to Bangkok's existing outer ring road. The main access road is
an elevated 2x5 lane road that leads from the passenger terminal through
the northern part of the site to the new Bangkok-Chonburi highway. Other
access roads include:
• South Access Road, a 2x4 lane road linking Bang Na-Bang Pakong Highway
and Bang Na-Chonburi Expressway
• Northeast Access Road, a 2x2 lane leading to On Nut Road
• West Access Road, a 2x2 lane connecting the King Kaew Road
• Northwest Access Road, a 2x3 lane road linking Rom Klao elevated road
and King Kaew Flyover
There are proposed plans to extend the Skytrain from On Nut to the new
airport but nothing has been decided thus far (not least because the
current Skytrain
is having trouble reaching its target passenger figures).
