The International Air Rail Organization (IARO), together with Thailand’s largest project management firm - Project Planning Service Public Company Limited (PPS), and multi-disciplinary design firm - PPS One Works, are delighted to announce the very first International Air Rail Transport Summit - Bangkok.

Endorsed by Thailand’s Ministry of Transport, the summit will bring together leading industry and public sector figures from around the world to learn more about air-rail connectivity and to explore the opportunities and challenges facing infrastructure planning, funding, delivery and operations across the region. 

Focused on the rapidly-expanding Asia-Pacific infrastructure pipeline, this one-day event will discuss lessons to be learnt from benchmark mega-projects around the world in relation to improved passenger experiences, efficient operations and innovative construction techniques. With major projects such the new High-Speed Rail Links connecting three major airports coming to conclusion, and important airport expansion projects such as U-Tapao International Airport and Suvarnabhumi International Airport in discussion, what are Thailand’s infrastructure priorities post-2020? And what actions are required from all stakeholders to ensure long-term success in achieving Thailand 4.0 targets?
