Self-Promotion: My New WSJ Southeast Asia Real Time Story on Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport

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.
