Bangkok opens new airport terminal to meet tourist surge

Airports of Thailand, which operates Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, opened the satellite terminal for trial on Friday. It was built at a cost of about 35 billion baht (S$1.31 billion).

Airlines including Thai units of AirAsia X and Vietjet Aviation will operate out of the facility, which is expected to reach its full capacity of 15 million passengers in 2024.

The addition of the new terminal comes as Thailand is expecting a rush of tourists during the so-called high season for its local travel industry, from the end of September until the end of February.
