Suvarnabhumi airport has started limited flight services

From Thai news sources, the new Bangkok International Airport has started its limited operation yesterday for some local and regional low-cost airlines, essentially without serious problem. Travelers like the new airport. In the next 13 days, full operation will start. I am glad that the full-service day is coming.

My own feeling is that the new airport might reach capacity of 100 million passengers per year in just a decade or less, thus it 's a good idea to keep the original Don Mueang Airport handy for future use. The day when two airports are needed will come to Bangkok. A third one, if needed few decades later, would need to be built in the Gulf of Thailand then.
