One of my all time favorite airports. For those who dig interior design and architectural you will appreciate the nuances associated with Bangkok's international airport.
I've already posted the quick facts about this impressive site. I'm excited to share the photographs I snapped from this past week's trip. Giving credit where it is due: the SUVARNABHUMI airport was designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects
The airport has 2 parallel runways (60 m. wide, 4,000 m. and 3700 m. long) and 2 parallel taxiways to accommodate simultaneous departures and arrivals. It has a total of 120 parking bays (51 with contact gates and 69 remote gates) and 5 of these are capable of accommodating the Airbus A380 aircraft. With a capacity of handling 76 flight operations per hour, both international and domestic flights will share the airport terminal but will be assigned to different parts of the concourse.
Four runways flanking two main terminals and two satellite buildings with a combined capacity capable of handling up to 100 million passengers and 6.4 million tonnes of cargo a year are on the drawing board.
