BANGKOK, 18 August 2011 – Transport Minister Air Chief Marshal Sukumpol Suwanatat is scheduled to inspect the operation of the Airport Rail Link tomorrow in a bid to take all details into account when setting a budget framework.

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is being urged to improve facilities at the Airport Rail Link to enhance Bangkok’s competitiveness and provide travellers the level of convenience they enjoy in other capitals.

The Airport Link from the Phaya Thai and Makkasan areas of downtown Bangkok to Suvarnabhumi airport is set to open for passengers on Aug 12, the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen, deputy Transport Minister Sopon Zarum said on Friday.

He conceded some facilities, including the baggage carousel system, would not be ready on the opening day, but he said he needed to speed up its launch.

The luggage-loading service at Makkasan station would not be operational, so there might be some inconvenience for passengers with heavy bags.

The construction of the 28-km route is 96 per cent complete. There have been delays to work at some stations and route sections due to hold-ups in land acquisitions, said SRT deputy governor Prasert Attanan.

The SRT plans to collect a fare of 150 baht from passengers taking non-stop trains while those travelling on trains that stop at every station will pay between 15 and 45 baht.
