BANGKOK, 30 June 2011 (NNT) – The Airport of Thailand Plc (AOT) is preparing to increase the Passenger Service Charge (PSC) due to higher operating cost that the AOT is shouldering and the investment it has recently made.

AOT Senior Executive Vice President for Business Development and Marketing Nitinai Sirismatthakarn said the PSC on international flights would be raised to 800 baht from the original 700 baht while the charge on domestic flights would be increased to 250 baht from 100 baht currently.

The vice president then announced that the rate adjustment would be proposed to the Civil Aviation Board (CAB) for consideration soon.
