Caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has insisted that Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi Airport will open for commercial service before October. The opening has been delayed once already, having originally been scheduled for next month.
In spite of problems such as a long crack in the flooring of the passenger terminal, Thaksin said the government would push ahead to open the new airport before this year's October high season.
"The problems are minor. We can use flexible materials to fix them," he said.
