The aviation industry is calling for a ban on new flights operating through Suvarnabhumi airport to prevent further congestion.
The Airline Operators Committee (AOC), a coalition of 86 international airlines and 26 aviation service providers operating at Suvarnabhumi, is urging authorities to impose the ban immediately.
Overcrowding has become a critical problem at the airport, one that will become worse as the six-month "winter programme" begins in the final week of this month. Airport use is expected to rise by 10% during this period.
