Rail link sparks corruption fears THE NATION Published on May 7, 2009Concerns are growing that the company to be set up by the State Railway of
Thailand to operate the Airport |Rail Link system could become a new cash cow for politicians, a Transport Ministry source said |yesterday. "The golden goose is not the rail link operation but the Makkasan main passenger terminal, as the subsidiary will have to manage the commercial space there for leasing and advertising, " the source said. "It will have full authority over space management, not the SRT or Transport Ministry."
Politicians might try to find some way to appoint their men to run the SRT subsidiary, the source said. The SRT's board will appoint the subsidiary's board and the subsidiary will hire professionals outside the SRT as its chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer. The rail link will connect
Suvarnabhumi Airport with the City Air Terminal in downtown
Bangkok.
The creation of the subsidiary |is part of the debt-ridden SRT's rehabilitation plan. The Finance Ministry will budget Bt500 million for the subsidiary's start-up costs. The Transport Ministry will submit the SRT rehabilitation plan for Cabinet approval at next Tuesday's meeting. Once it gets the green light, the state enterprise could immediately establish the subsidiary.
The SRT will hire German train operator Deutsche Bahn Inter-national to operate the rail link and train the SRT subsidiary staff on an outsourcing basis for Bt90 million until the subsidiary is ready to manage the system itself.
Besides running the airport rail system, the subsidiary might be allowed to take over some commercial rail routes so it can generate sufficient revenue for the SRT. The new rail link will begin trial operations on August 12, with full service scheduled by the end of this year or early next yesterday.

Airport rail link fully operational from March By WATCHARAPONG THONGRUNG
THE NATION
Published on July 15, 2009
The Airport Rail Link is expected to start running commercially next March.
Jaiyavat Navaraj, area station manager for
Thailand,
Sri Lanka and the
Maldives at Austrian Airlines and chairman
of the Airline Operators Committee (AOC), said the
State Railway of Thailand (SRT) had confirmed to the AOC it would conduct a full trial
of the system from December.
The test will take three months to complete. If all goes smoothly, the Airport Rail Link will begin
official operations next March.
Some 160 representatives
of the AOC, which consists
of 81 airlines and 21 non-airline agencies, yesterday participated in an SRT test run held to demonstrate the rail-link system to members.
The elevated system will link
Suvarnabhumi Airport with the City Air Terminal in
Bangkok's Makkasan area. A non-stop express train will cost Bt150, while the City Line, which will stop at each station, will cost Bt15 to Bt45, depending on distance travelled.
Representatives
of international airlines believe if well managed, the Makkasan venue could help ease passenger traffic at
Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The airlines have also asked the SRT to extend the rental-fee waiver for their check-in counter space at the City Air Terminal by more than a year from the original one-year period, Jaiyavat said.
He said the AOC felt confident about the rail-link system and its facilities, from the passenger check-in counters in the City Air Terminal and the luggage X-ray system to the transport
of luggage to
Suvarnabhumi and the security system.
