SUVARNABHUMI: — Angry residents around the Suvarnabhumi International Airport Saturday threatened to disrupt the flights to and from the airport by firing homemade rockets and releasing balloons on February 23.
Somchart Manathamsombat, a leader of the residents, said the people affected by noise pollution at the airport would give the government until February 23 to solve their problems or they would launch the bung fai or Isaan homemade rockets and balloons to disrupt the flights.
Somchart and some 100 representatives of the residents of housing estates around the airport held a press conference to demand the new government to ask the Airports of Thailand Plc to speed up paying affected people compensations.
Somchart said none of the people had received compensations so far.
