BANGKOK (Reuters) - Restarting Bangkok's $4 billion Suvarnabhumi airport will take at least a week
from the end of the current sit-in by protesters because of security and IT system checks,
its general manager said on Monday.
Anti-government protesters have ignored a police order to end their blockade of Bangkok's main airport,
which entered its seventh day Monday.
"Normally, checking the IT systems takes one week. We have to check, recheck, check, recheck,"
Serirat Prasutanond told Reuters, adding that the delay would probably be even longer as some of
complex's massive computers might need repair.
"I think some systems are damaged," he said, but declined to give further details.
