Airport Destination Annual Report 2013 2 Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited Message from the Chairman Annual Report 2013 Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited 3 The executives and officers of AOT fully recognise the significant role played the aviation industry in driving the country’s economic and social expansion. We are also determined to strengthen AOT and turn it into Asia’s leading airport business operator in line with the commitments outlined in our vision for the future. The airport business has long served as an important gateway to welcome tourist visitors from all over the world. With travelling costs now affordable to all, the airports are today serving an ever-growing number of domestic travellers. The airports also accommodate logistics for goods, mail and postal parcels prior to distributing to various destinations over the world. It is thus clear that the airport industry is relevant to a vast variety of businesses including airlines, tourism, hotels, and logistics. AOT recognises this important role and continues to push the organisation forward so that it becomes one of Asia’s leading airport business operators. Despite the negative impacts of the global economic crisis and their effects on the Thai economy, the aviation industry in 2013 continued to show strong growth, thanks mainly to the ongoing expansion of the tourism sector. Air travel is gaining in popularity, particularly the flights offered by low-cost carriers, and these have been able to take advantage of AOT’s reopening of Don Mueang International Airport to cope with the growing air traffic movements. Thanks to unity of employees in all departments, AOT’s operating performance in 2013 is satisfactory and a reflection of efficient management. Air traffic movement statistics at the airports under AOT supervision also enjoyed growth compared to the same period of the previous year. Total passenger movements were 86,134,962 persons, an increase of 20.43%, total aircraft movements were 559,423 flights, an increase of 16.47% and cargo, mail and postal parcel movements totaled 1,321,161 million tons, representing an increase of 7.94% and AOT continues to place emphasis on upgrading the quality of its services to optimise customer satisfaction and enhance the airport’s competitiveness with dignity and efficiency. In terms of future operations, AOT will continue to manage and develop business in line with sustainable growth strategies as well as prepare the airports under its supervision to enter into the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in late 2015. The formation of the AEC will bring new challenges to AOT as it faces up to tougher competition. AOT has therefore set up various groups of the airport management and development sub-committee to supervise all concern operations to enable AOT to be ready for the AEC. In addition, AOT places great importance on corporate governance, advanced information technology systems and support and development of personnel capabilities.It is particularly committed to Corporate Social Responsibility, joining society and communities in organising various activities over the past few years. The CSR activities are aimed at creating good relations and building trust and confidence in operations while addressing concerns for the environment, society and stakeholders in a suitable manner. It is also in line with AOT’s mission to operate the airport business at a superior standard, offering wholehearted services and advanced technology, and demonstrating an awareness of social and community responsibility. AOT fully expects to be a driving force behind the country’s sustainable economic growth.

  • 1 the Royal Thai Navy's Theoretical Application of the Maritime Hybrid
    The Royal Thai Navy’s Theoretical Application of the Maritime Hybrid Warfare Concept by Hadrien T. Saperstein In the maritime strategic thought community there has been much talk about the theoretical application of the Maritime Hybrid Warfare concept by second and third-tier naval powers in the Northeast and Southeast Asia sub-regions.i On that theme, a recent publication on the Royal Thai Navy’s maritime and naval strategic thought concluded that the organisation stands at an existential crossroad with the advent of maritime hybrid threats in the grey-zone warfare era and should therefore consider operationalising the aforesaid multi-dimensional maritime concept to its organisational system and material capabilities.ii Since the publication released date though, this conclusion has only become more poignant in light of recent reports that China, a country that has applied the Maritime Hybrid Warfare since 2012,iii has signed a secret agreement giving it access to the Ream Naval Base in Cambodia.iv This newfound foothold at the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand puts a first-tier naval power – the People's Liberation Army Navy – now within striking distance to one of the Royal Thai Navy’s most important naval bases. In response to this event the following article analyses the manner by which the Royal Thai Navy, a second-tier naval power in the Southeast Asia sub-region, could theoretically operationalise the Maritime Hybrid Warfare concept in an effort to combat the soon-to-be present maritime hybrid threats in its internationally-recognised

  • Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support by Kenneth A
    U.S. Navy photo by Javier Chagoya Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support By Kenneth A. Stewart The Naval Postgraduate School’s Hastily Formed Networks (HFN) Research Group recently de- ployed to the Central Philippines to support disaster recovery efforts in the wake of Typhoon Hai- yan. HFN Research Group Director, and NPS Department of Information Sciences Lecturer Brian Steckler deployed to the region in advance of his student team to conduct early communications assessments. “I am working with the Marine Corps Pacific Forces Experimentation Center in support of the Third Marine Battalion (3rd MEB). The 3rd MEB is in charge of the initial Marine response to Typhoon Haiyan,” said Steckler. “My first step was to find out where they want to use our commu- nications capabilities and to conduct an assessment to determine local communications needs.” The Hastily Formed Networks group is not just in it for the academic value. We have deployed to other major disasters where we have provided real support to people in desperate need.” U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson HFN teams equipped with satellite-enabled, handheld devices were given the green light to con- duct rapid Information and Communication Technology assessments. NPS’ HFN team also used the advanced communications tools at their disposal to create hastily formed networks. “The communications link is critical, we cannot coordinate if we can’t communicate,” said NPS student and U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson of Versailles, Ohio. “We establish emergency communications between critical HA/DR centers, hospitals and NGOs. According to Steckler, a major complication in a situation like this is aid distribution — some ar- eas do not get enough assistance and others get too much.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Thai Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. My responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on my review. Scope of Review I conducted my review in accordance with Thai Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable me to obtain assurance that I would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion.

    Keeping It Alive: Mapping Bangkok’s Diverse Living Culture Bussakorn Binson+ Pattara Komkam++ Pornprapit Phaosavadi+++ and Kumkom Pornprasit++++ (Thailand) Abstract This research project maps Bangkok’s living local culture sites while exploring, compiling and analyzing the relevant data from all 50 districts. This is an overview article of the 2011 qualitative !eld research by the Urban Research Plaza and the Thai Music and Culture Research Unit of Chulalongkorn University to be published in book form under the title Living Local Cultural Sites of Bangkok in 2012. The complete data set will be transformed into a website fortifying Bangkok’s cultural tourism to remedy its reputation as a destination for sex tourism. The !ve areas of cultural activity include the performing arts, rites, sports and recreation, craftsmanship, and the domestic arts. It was discovered that these living local cultural sites mirror the heterogeneity of its residents with their diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. There are local culture clusters of Laotians, Khmers, Mon, Chinese, Islam, Brahman-Hinduism, and Sikhs as well as Westerners. It was also found that the respective culture owners are devoted to preserve their multi-generational heritage. The natural beauty of these cultural sites remains clearly evident and vibrant, even though there remain dif!culties hampering their retention. The mapping of these sites are discussed as well as the issues surrounding those cultural sites that are in danger of extinction due to the absence of successors and other supportive factors necessary for their sustainability.
