The story is here, and begins:
There could be more complications ahead for travelers flying through Bangkok.
Runway repairs at the Thai capital’s overcrowded Suvarnabhumi international airport have caused delays in recent weeks, with a power failure that temporarily affected the facility’s air traffic control system – causing further holdups – the most recent concern.
Now, in a bid to ease congestion at the six-year-old facility, the Thai government is urging some budget airlines and other carriers to shift their operations away from Suvarnabhumi to Bangkok’s old international gateway, Don Mueang airport – the same airport that was shut down by massive floods late last year.
