Thailand Suwannabhumi airport is now open



Bangkok - Anti-government demonstrators agreed on Tuesday to allow flights to resume from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi international airport after a week-long blockade, a protest leader said.

"As of this moment the PAD (People's Alliance for Democracy) has allowed flights to take off and land immediately, both passenger and cargo flights," senior alliance member Somkiat Pongpaiboon said.

The PAD occupied Suvarnabhumi and the smaller Don Mueang domestic airport last week, stranding 350 000 passengers and causing massive damage to the Thai economy. - Sapa-AFP
