Airports of Thailand moves to clear late cargoes

Airports of Thailand (AoT) has allocated warehouse space at Suvarnabhumi airport to address a backlog of oversized imported cargo. This joint effort with Thai Airways aims to prevent disruptions to Thailand's logistics network and international trade. AoT president Paweena Jariyathitipong announced that Warehouse 4 within the airport Free Zone is being used for this purpose.

This move will enhance space management and reduce operational constraints. AoT, Thai Airways, and the Customs Department are also exploring the use of domestic cargo warehouse facilities for customs clearance. Additionally, AoT is integrating Thai Airways' Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with its Cargo Clearhouse platform.

AoT is continuously monitoring Thai Airways' warehouse operations, cargo volumes, and the status of accumulated shipments. As of now, around 46,000 cargo collection requests have been submitted through the AoT Cargo Clearhouse platform, boosting Thailand's logistics competitiveness and aviation hub status.
