"The fastest is the surviving"
That was what the famous futurist Alvin Toffler mentioned 10 years ago,with his predition that from the 21st century, what would determine trade success at the global level is speed!
Internationally,competition take shape in the world of networked speed,creating a new economic
platform having international airports as the drivers in boosting the countries' business competitiveness.
In 1960,Thailand concocted a plan to build a new airport.The Airports Authority of Thailand commissioned an advisor to complete a master plan on the nationwide airports system,to guide Thailand on large-sized airport development in the long term.The study showed the Bangkok International Airport at Don Muang would run at full capacity in 2000 and without a new airport, Thailand's tourism,commerce and industrial sectors would be affected. Don Muang itself
was constructed as a base for the Royal Thai Air Force.
As such, Thailand was in dire need for a new modern airport to specifically serve commercial aviation,to accommodate the future expansion in air traffic.
Though the new airport development has encountered various obstacles which have delayed
the construction for decades,the current government under Prime minister Taksin Shinawattra
has pushed for this mega-project at full effort. The airport construction was included in the "National Agenda", where all related agencies must cooperate to reach the goal, paving the way for the inauguration of Suvarnabhumi Airport as the nation's main airport and as an aviation center in Southeast Asia.
