Anutin Leads EEC Board Meeting to Address High-Speed Rail and Airport City Delays
Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has convened the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) board to push for resolutions regarding the high-speed rail project connecting three airports and the U-Tapao Airport City development.
On October 26, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul chaired a meeting of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Policy Committee. The primary focus of the session was to address ongoing challenges and delays affecting two major infrastructure projects: the high-speed rail line linking three airports and the U-Tapao Airport City development.
For residents and travelers, these projects are critical components of Thailand’s long-term transportation strategy, intended to improve connectivity between Bangkok and the eastern provinces. The high-speed rail is designed to link Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi, and U-Tapao airports, potentially streamlining travel for international visitors and commuters alike. The U-Tapao Airport City project aims to transform the region into a major aviation and logistics hub.
During the meeting, the board discussed necessary measures to expedite progress and resolve existing bottlenecks. However, specific details regarding the timeline for these resolutions or the exact nature of the obstacles discussed remain to be confirmed. As these projects are essential for regional economic growth and improved transit efficiency, stakeholders are closely monitoring the government's next steps. Further updates are expected as the EEC board continues its oversight of these large-scale infrastructure developments.
