Airports of Thailand (AoT) has introduced Grab taxi services at Suvarnabhumi airport to give passengers more choices to get to and from their destinations.

The new Grab service centre is at Gate 4 on the first floor of the airport passenger terminal. It will be a 24-hour pick-up point for passengers using the ride-hailing application, according to AoT.

In keeping with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s campaign to make Suvarnabhumi one of the top 20 airports in the world, AoT has added Grab service. The opening ceremony of the centre was on Thursday.

AoT earlier teamed up with Grab to allow passengers to use the app to call Grab taxis at Don Mueang, Chiang Mai and Phuket airports.

AoT said the arrival of Grab would “give more choices for passengers and raise the service standards at the airport to be more convenient and faster”.
