The Department of Airports (DoA) has opposed Airports of Thailand's (AoT) plan to take control of Krabi airport as it is the DoA's main source of income.DoA director-general Ampawan Wannako said yesterday that Krabi airport was one of four regional airports which the AoT is planning to take from the department. The AoT already had plans to take control of and upgrade Udon Thani and Sakon Nakhon airports in the Northeast, Tak airport in the North, and Chumphon airport in the upper South.

Last year, the department pocketed 852.5 million baht from operations at 28 airports under its control. Of that sum, Krabi airport alone contributed 469.4 million baht. A takeover by AoT could mean a rise in air fares, Ms … [Read more...] about Department of Airports protests Krabi airport bid
