Suvarnabhumi Airport sets sight to become the world's No.1 airport six years after the second-phase development is completed.
Pongsak Semson, a vice chairman of Airports of Thailand - the operator of the Bangkok's airport, said on Friday that works must be stepped up to increase the airport's competitiveness. He foresees fiercer competition when the Asean Economic Community takes shape in 2015.
The airport celebrated the 6th anniversary today.
"Six years after the second phase is completed, we'll be fully ready to complete and there's a chance that we become the No.1 because of the competitive edge in terms of tourist destinations," he said.
In the region, Suvarnabhumi is inferior to Changi Airport in Singapore in terms of language skills of personnel, congestion and convenience, he said.
