Airports of Thailand says it will build a third runway at Suvarnabhumi Airport within two years as a backup to prevent air traffic congestion in the event one of the main runways needed to be closed.
AoT chairman, Sita Divari, said on Tuesday that the new 2,900-metre runway will be built on the western side of the airport, to serve only in an emergency.

The AoT Board of Directors approved the  proposal after a Thai Airways International aircraft skidded off  the runway earlier this month, forcing AoT to close the runway for four days.
