Suvarnabhumi airport announced emergency runways closing for 3 hours on Tuesday evening due to a flock of dragonflies which caused poor visions for pilots of landing and take-off.
A large flock of dragonflies fried over Suvarnabhumi airport runways for 3 hours; it caused poor visions for landing and take-off. Therefore, Suvarnabhumi airport executive decided to announce the emergency runways closing for passengers’ safety.
Yongyuth Sinjai, one of Suvarnabhumi airport executives described the reason of closing.
“We concerned about passengers’ safety as the most important thing, so we had to close the runways and postponed take-off of 32 flights. We also informed pilots of every flight to landing at Don Muang airport instead,” said Yongyuth.
32 flights were postponed for 3 hours until the vision over the runways got back to normal. All flights which were arriving at Suvarnabhumi airport, pilots were informed about emergency closing and allowed to landing at Don Muang airport instead.
After 3 hours of emergency runways closing, all dragonflies fried away and the vision over runways returned to normal, Suvarnbhumi airport reopened its runways.
“The rainy season is coming earlier than usual due to the global warming as other countries worldwide are facing severe disasters. This is a signal of unnatural climate changes,” Nattharin Yimyam, Suvarnabhumi airport officer said.
Passengers were pleased to the security measure of the airport and understood the reason of postponing their flights.
“We understand that it isn’t anybody’s fault, it’s good that they concerned about our safety. They also solved problem in a short time,” Yurie Kawa, a Japanese tourist said.
However, the executives of Suvarnabhumi airport will have the meeting about prevention of this kind of natural phenomena in the future on Friday coming.
