Sleepless in Suvarnabhumi, but smiling

Sleepless residents living near Suvarnabhumi airport have reached a deal with aviation authorities following talks on Tuesday.


Key protestor, Prasert Boonkaew, said he was satisfied with promises made by Transport Minister Theera Haocharoen that he would follow up on the progress of noise mitigation schemes and financial compensation owed to affected residents.

Protest leaders warned residents not to release balloons in a bid to disrupt air traffic, as they had threatened before the emergency meeting was held.
