More robust investment will support the aviation and logistics sectors as the government aims to build a high-tech industrial hub, he said. Mega-projects like U-tapao aviation city, the MRO centre and a high-speed railway linking three airports are essential to EEC development. Suriyan Vichitlekarn, executive director of the Mekong Institute, said he believes GMS will help make Thailand an aviation and logistics hub. Some 70-80% of Thai logistics businesses are operated by SMEs, he said.
