BANGKOK, Sept 30 - Residents near Suvarnabhumi international airport and affected by the noise problem caused by aircraft landings and take-offs are monitoring closely on the progress of resolving the problem under the leadership by a tripartite committee formed earlier in September.
Aid residents' leader Wanchart Manathammasombat said residents living near the airport, located in Bangkok's neighboring province of Samut Prakan, would watch the outcomes of the next few meetings between the tripartite committee comprising representatives of Airports of Thailand (AoT), the residents and the Lawyers Council of Thailand .
If no progress on the noise pollution problem is made, residents may have to march to the airport again and impose heavier pressure on the authorities, said Mr. Wanchart.
On September 9, the residents' protested at the airport give the AoT a nine-day deadline to meet their demands. They have threatened to release a large number of balloons into the air to disrupt air traffic if AoT does not broaden its noise mitigation scheme and compensation to include more homes.
However, the residents later backed off and decided to wait for the outcome of their demands from the tripartite committee before taking fresh action.
