Bangkok’s 2nd airport closed by floods
October 26, 2011 – 11:18 am
Bangkok’s second airport, Don Muang, has been closed due to floods causing a cancellation of many domestic flights.
The airport also houses the government’s recently established emergency Flood Relief Operations Center, and one of its terminals has been converted into an overcrowded shelter filled with tents for about 4,000 people who fled waterlogged homes.
Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, the country’s main international gateway, has yet to be affected by flooding and flights there were operating normally. Most of the city has been spared inundation so far.
