Suvarnabhumi Airport Link on Schedual
Suvarnabhumi Airport Link likely to begin service as scheduled, says SRT chief
BANGKOK: — The Airport Rail Link project, providing direct rail service to and from Suvarnabhumi Airport, is expected to be completely implemented and open for service as earlier scheduled in December, according to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT).
SRT Governor Yuthana Tupcharoen said the project has made much progress–some 98 per cent — toward its implementation.
At present, it is in process of testing its systems to ensure readiness prior to opening for service, including the test run, safety control, personnel recruitment, and procurement of facilities and utilities for passenger convenience.
He said SRT had attempted to keep both the Thai public and the international community abreast of the progress being made in the implementation of the project and its readiness to open for service.
Now, he affirmed, SRT is testing the systems and expects the Airport Rail Link project will open for service as previously scheduled in December this year.
