(Photo: Varuth Hirunyatheb)Airports of Thailand (AoT) will increase passenger service charges at six international airports by 30 baht from April 1 next year to cover the operating costs of Common Use Passenger Processing Systems (Cupps). The systems, hence, have a higher operating cost, leading the AoT to introduce the new passenger service charge. Also, Cupps is calculated under the service charge, according to the Air Navigation Act's Section 56 (1), which allows aviation authorities to collect the charge for airport improvement and passenger facilities.
