  Airport Technology - Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK/VTBS), Bangkok, Thailand
The new Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is due to replace the overloaded and unexpandable Bangkok International Airport (Don Muang), was scheduled to open in June 2006.
The airport was due to open in late 2005, but a series of budget over-runs, construction flaws, political interference and allegations of corruption have caused problems for the project.
Suvarnabhumi will be able to cope with 30 million passengers a year when it first opens, a figure which will be increased to 45 million within a short space of time.

 Suvarnabhumi airport
Suvarnabhumi was named by King Bhumibol Adulyadej and means "the golden land" in Thai, although it's English spelling is certain to lead to mispronunciations by visitors as it's actually pronounced like 'su-wan-na-poom'.
The root cause of the problems appears to be a rush to open the airport before it was really ready, and several senior Airports Authority of Thailand officials have been removed from their posts as a result of the mess.
Latest (February 2007) reports are that Don Muang airport is to be re-opened for both international and domestic flights, to relieve some of the pressure from Suvarnabhumi and to allow the much needed repairs to take place.

 Suvarnabhumi Airport 'not able' to help city's flood woes
Suvarnabhumi Airport has warned the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) not to drain floodwater into its area as this would cause severe inundation problems for the new facility.
Somchai Sawasdeepon, general manager of Suvarnabhumi Airport, said yesterday he would inform the directors of Lat Krabang and Prawes districts that the airport had no capacity to receive a run-off from outside its precincts as the irrigation canal inside the airport was already about 50 per cent full.
