In addition, an underground station is planned for public transportation.

 

   e-Airport
The new airport offers an online information system for passengers' convenience. Supported by electronics system, the e-Check-in shortcuts the complicated and time-consuming procedure and enhances the security efficiency. For mobile phone's additional service subscribers, reservation can be directly made. After entering the airport, they can gain access to several procedures and information i.e. flight ticket checking, automatic check-in, etc. Moreover, the e-Information system will provide them with SMS and WAP flight information.
To tackle today's terrorist and epidemic threats, the Biometric Technology, applied for safety and security efficiencies, helps make the individual identification an personal data verification more easily than the usual passport control approach. Once the BT system is fully developed and globally implemented, air travel will step into the novel security efficiency.
Included in the e-Navigation is a quick guide for passengers by SMS via moblle phones i.e. airport's facilities, translation service, airport's map and GPS, directional guide in-out of the airport, tourist attractions in international languages, etc.

 

   Green Airport
With healthily and environmentally conscious construction, Suvarnabhumi Airport recognizes that a pleasant environment can boost a more enjoyable trip and passengers' satisfaction. Planned are the passenger terminal's interior design and airport's landscape. Furthermore, the treated wastewater from the treatment plant is reusable for watering plants.
Due to the Passenger Terminal's high roof design and passengers' 4-meter vertical occupancy, the radiant floor cooling and re-circulated air cooling systems are installed for energy saving. Moreover, the automated air control adjusts the temperature accordingly to the ever-changing passenger volume to reduce the air-condition workload. The new airport's daily wastewater is treated and reused in the air-conditioning system, irrigation system and environmental quality maintenance, resulting in cost cutting as well as energy conservation.
