Suvarnabhumi prepares for Bangkok Shutdown

Planning to travel next week? Better plan ahead.

Travelers should head to the airport at least four hours before their flight, according to the director of Suvarnabhumi Airport, who discussed preparations for the upcoming “Bangkok shutdown” next Monday.

The airport will adjust the routes of shuttle buses which transport passengers between Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang Airport to avoid the protesters, said Director Weerawan Netrakwessana. Also, backup parking spaces will be opened up for commuters.

Meanwhile, Singapore Airlines reported the number of passengers on flights to Bangkok has dropped 40 percent to 60 percent, leading the airline to cancel at least one flight due to the political situation while other airlines are waiting for the results of the disruption before making a decision, Bangkok Biz News reported.
