The Airport Link from the Phaya Thai and Makkasan to Suvarnabhumi airport is set to open for passengers on Aug 12, deputy Transport Minister Sopon Zarum said on Friday.
He conceded some facilities, including the baggage carousel system, would not be ready on the opening day, but he said he needed to speed up its launch.
The luggage-loading service at Makkasan station would not be operational, so there might be some inconvenience for passengers with heavy bags.
The construction of the 28-km route is 96%-complete with delays to work at some stations and route sections due to hold-ups in land acquisitions, said SRT deputy governor Prasert Attanan.
The SRT plans to collect a fare of 150 baht from passengers taking non-stop trains while those travelling on trains that stop at every station will pay between 15 and 45 baht.
