<b>Suvarnabhumi to welcome incoming flights</b>
(BangkokPost.com) - The People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Tuesday accepted the Airports of Thailand (AOT)’s demand to allow incoming flights to use Suvarnabhumi airport after the Constitution Court dissolved the People Power, Chart Thai and Matchimathipataya parties on charges of electoral fraud.

The first incoming flight to the international airport is expected to be within 24 hours.

The People's Alliance for Democracy Tuesday agreed in principle to cooperate with the Airports of Thailand Plc to reopen services at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport but the PAD will not end its demonstration there. The agreement was announced at 3:30 pm by Somkiart Pongpaibool, a PAD leader and Vudhibhandhu Vichairatana, chairman of the AOT board of directors, following their meeting. Somkiart announced that the PAD would allow flights to resume at the Bangkok international airport after AOT technical officials check technical readiness of all systems. He said a joint committee between the PAD and AOT board would inspect assets in the airport and would open gateways for passengers to use the airports for arrival and departures. Somkiart said the PAD would allocate a zone for its demonstration to continue without affecting the passengers. Vudhibhandhu said the board would cooperate with the PAD to check the readiness of the systems and would try to resume services within 24 hours. He said the AOT board would try to make the systems of the airport ready in line with international standard.

Can the debauchery, and accompaning thievery continue once again in the Land of Suckers?

I read yesterday that the authorities estimated that it would take 7 days to reopen the airport, but today they report flights coming in - I guess to clear the backlog?

I was due to travel to BKK on Saturday 6th December but had resigned myself to cancelling. But if flights are resuming, maybe I can still make it. Any words from the wise on whether it may be possible or een advisable?

Thanks!

So the airport can open and the crisis ends. But there is no PM, no government until/unless one is appointed THEN elected and the PPP and the Cronies Against Dictatorship reorganize as a new party and the same 'problem' as before.

Well, for now just think the army can act either way without appering to be on the orders of the nonexistent government, or may have to act, so I guess the LYB are gonna straighten OUT that airport mess out ASAP.

Do you think that the above news should come as a surprise to anyone, now that the PAD have been served up everything on a plate that were wanting and have been asking for, ever since the first day that they started with their manipulaion and blackmail tactics. I don't think so, do you fattman?


Cheers,


George.

Double post, please dispose of even though it may prove to be a little more dificult for you to do, than what it would be for you to dispose of a Prime Minister, along with his Goverment.


Thanks,

You can say that again god. Don't you think that it's about time you did something about all of this and time now also for you to intervene? Or is it a case that you leave everything for Buddha to do alone these days?


Cheers,


George.
