All Star Alliance carriers to continue using Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi in show of support for Thai Airways, against proposal to re-open Don Muang

Star Alliance members will continue to use Thailand’s new Suvarnabhumi airport despite plans to reopen Bangkok’s old Don Muang airport.
All domestic and international carriers, including home carrier and Star Alliance member Thai Airways, moved to the new airport in September. But some Thai carriers, particularly the low-cost airlines, have been lobbying the military government to reopen Don Muang as a low-cost carrier hub. The government has also been urged to close Suvarnabhumi for repairs after cracks appeared on its taxiways and runways.
“We fully endorse the policy of our home carrier and founding member, Thai Airways International, to retain its hub operations at Suvarnabhumi airport,” says Star Alliance chief executive Jan Albrecht. “By moving together under one roof at the new Suvarnabhumi airport, Star Alliance carriers have signalled their joint intention to offer fast and comfortable connections and services in safe, modern and passenger-pleasing facilities.”
