Why is Jetstar moving to the Suvarnabhumi airport ahead of other airlines?
Jetstar has elected to move to this brand new airport on 15th September 2006, to ensure a smooth transition ahead of other airlines. Suvarnabhumi Airport is the new international airport for Bangkok. All airlines must move to this new airport by 28th September 2006. How will the relocation of the airport affect me? Suvarnabhumi Airport is a state of the art, modern facility. The Airports of Thailand has assured Jetstar that there will be appropriate ground transportation (including buses and taxis) from 15 September 2006. In addition, the airport has numerous retail and food outlets. With the relocation, are the taxes increased, i.e., do I have to pay more taxes? No. At the current time the passenger service charge for Suvarnbhumi remains the same as Don Muang at THB 500. Will the passenger service charge be integrated into ticket prices with the movement? At the current time, the THB 500 passenger service charge is paid by the passenger to the Airport Authority on departure from Bangk
