BANGKOK, Nov 12 — The construction of ‘Big Bags’ at Don Mueang Airport was expected to be completed on November 15 before drainage of floodwater would begin drying out the airport, as repair work would take around 60 days before the airport could reopen, according to Airports of Thailand (AoT) chairman ACM Sumet Photimanee.

ACM Sumet said a mission was underway to partially reopen the airport by using ‘Big Bags’ to build a floodwater barrier at the runway and taxiway on the east side of the airport.
