New automatic passport control tested at Suvarnabhumi Airport
control system before heading to Malaysia on flight TG415. The new system is part of an initiative by AOT to support immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi Airport, addressing issues related to the old system that has been in use for over 15 years and only served Thai nationals.
The outdated technology and a shortage of immigration staff have contributed to passenger congestion, negatively impacting Thailand’s tourism image. The government is keen on promoting Suvarnabhumi Airport as the country’s gateway, welcoming tourists and international investors.
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin recently announced plans to elevate Suvarnabhumi Airport to become the main aviation hub in the region. In line with this vision, AOT has allocated funds to implement the new Automatic Channel project. Initially, 56 new machines will be installed at international departures, replacing the current 16 machines. This increase aims to streamline passenger processing without compromising national security, similar to internationally recognised airports
