The Cabinet will tomorrow consider Airports of Thailand's plan to pay Bt4 billion compensation to 6,317 households around Suvarnabhumi Airport in 2011.
Somchai Sawasdeepon, senior executive vice president of AOT, said that the Cabinet in 2009 approved the sum, but AOT has not yet received the approval for the payment. With the Cabinet's approval, this resolution will be discussed by the AOT board of directors and proposed for shareholders' approval at the meeting in 2011.
The compensation is based on the land and house prices. Some would be spared for building renovation.
The compensation is being given to households which will suffer from the noise pollution in the winter time, when planes will land in the South and take off in the North.
