The Technical Assistance on Threat Assessment and Security Implementation Plan for Thai Airways Operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport will enhance the level of security of THAI?s operations in key aviation-related business units for their airline and servicing several others. The Technical Assistance would include a detailed assessment and security system requirements for six areas of operations, which include: Cargo and mail, Catering, Ground support equipment units, Operations center, Aircraft maintenance center, and Customer services; and ensure that the security systems and procedures are compatible and seamless with the overall security plan for the new airport. The Technical Assistance will have strong development impact in enhancing Thailand?s infrastructure for secure air travel and promotes their economic development goal as a regional transportation hub in Southeast Asia. Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) has been the flag carrier and the largest commercial airline operator in Thailand for 53 years. THAI is the largest tenant of the new Suvarnabhumi airport and has made commitment to provide services at the highest security level utilizing state-of-the-art technologies that will be a model for other airport operations. The cargo service is their largest growth area with the recently signed US-Thai Cargo Open Skies Agreement, and is an important priority in their facilities and security development at the new airport. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $530,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).
