    "Mrs Paranee said government agencies providing immigration, customs and quarantine formalities have ensured there will be enough manpower and facilities to serve international passengers and cargo by Oct 1"

    If with long notice and many warnings, AOT can not do this at Suvarnabhumi, why should anyone believe they can do it here in a few weeks?
