The Cabinet has given its green light for the Bt63 billion expansion plan for Suvarnabhumi Airport, Transport Minister Sophon Saram said on Tuesday.
The expansion is under a phase II development plan of the airport with tie-over budget spreaded from next fiscal year to 2016, Sopon said.
The plan covers additional facilities for passenger terminal, ramps for aircraft and related construction. The planned spendings were cut down from Bt77 billion due to the cancellation to build a third runway. Without the runway construct, the expansion could proceed without having to complete the environmental impact assessment.
