==Etymology==
{{main|Suvarnabhumi}}
''Suvarṇabhūmi'' literally means "land of gold".{{efn|{{langx|sa|सुवर्णभूमि}} '''{{IAST|Suvarṇabhūmi}}''', {{ipa|sa|suʋɐrɳɐbʰuːmi|ipa}}, ''Suvarṇa'' is "gold"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sanskritdictionary.com/?iencoding=iast&q=suvar%E1%B9%87a&lang=sans&action=Search |title=Sanskrit Dictionary |publisher=Sanskrit Dictionary |access-date=5 October 2018}}</ref>, ''Bhūmi'' is 'land'<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sanskritdictionary.com/?iencoding=iast&q=bh%C5%ABmi&lang=sans&action=Search |title=Sanskrit Dictionary |publisher=Sanskrit Dictionary |access-date=5 October 2018}}</ref>, thus ''Suvaṇṇabhūmi'' literally means "land of gold"; Spelled in various local languages as: Pali: ''{{IAST|Suvaṇṇabhūmi}}'', {{ipa|pi|suʋɐɳːɐbʰuːmi|ipa}}; {{langx|ms|Suwarna Bumi}}; {{langx|my|သုဝဏ္ဏဘူမိ}} {{IPA|my|θṵwʊ̀ɰ̃na̰bùmḭ|}}; {{langx|km|សុវណ្ណភូមិ}} {{IPA|km|soʔ.ʋan.naʔ.pʰuːm|}}; and {{langx|th|สุวรรณภูมิ}}, {{RTGS|''Suwannaphum''}}.}} The name was chosen by [[King Bhumibol Adulyadej]] whose name includes ''Bhūmi'', referring to the "Buddhist golden kingdom", thought to have been to the east of the [[Ganges]], possibly somewhere in Southeast Asia. In Thailand, government proclamations and national museums insist that Suvarnabhumi was somewhere on the coast of the central plains, near the ancient city of [[U Thong district|U Thong]], which might be the origin of the [[Greater India|Indianised]] [[Dvaravati]] culture.<ref>Damrong Rachanubhab, "History of Siam in the Period Antecedent to the Founding of Ayuddhya by King Phra Chao U Thong", ''Miscellaneous Articles: Written for the Journal of the Siam Society by His late Royal Highness Prince Damrong,'' Bangkok, 1962, pp. 49–88, p. 54; Promsak Jermsawatdi, ''Thai Art with Indian Influences,'' New Delhi, Abhinav Publications, 1979, pp. 16–24.

Suvarnabhumi was officially opened for limited domestic flight service on 15 September 2006, and opened for most domestic and all international commercial flights on 28 September 2006.<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2006-09-15-bangkok-airport_x.htm "Bangkok's new airport opens to first commercial flights"], USA Today, 15 September 2006.</ref>

The airport is located on what had formerly been known as Nong Nguhao{{efn|name=nongnguhao}} in [[Racha Thewa]] in [[Bang Phli district|Bang Phli]], [[Samut Prakan province]], as well as the districts of [[Bang Kapi district|Bang Kapi]], [[Lat Krabang district|Lat Krabang]], [[Bang Na district|Bang Na]], and [[Prawet district|Prawet]] in the eastern side of Bangkok, about {{convert|25|km}} from downtown. The terminal building was designed by [[Helmut Jahn]] of Murphy/Jahn Architects. It was constructed primarily by [[ITO JV]]. The airport had the world's tallest free-standing [[Air traffic control|control tower]] ({{convert|132.2|m|ft|disp=or}}) from 2006 to 2014<ref name="ATCT">{{cite web|url=http://www.klia2.info/about-klia2/facilities/tower-west|title=Tallest Air Traffic Control Tower in the world|work=klia2.info|access-date=11 October 2017}}</ref> and for a time held the title for the world's fourth largest single-building [[airport terminal]] ({{convert|563000|m2|disp=or}}).{{fact|date=August 2025}}

Suvarnabhumi was reassigned the [[IATA airport code]], '''BKK''', from [[Don Mueang International Airport|Don Mueang]] after that airport ceased international commercial flights. [[Motorway 7 (Thailand)|Motorway 7]] connects the airport, Bangkok, and the heavily industrial [[eastern seaboard of Thailand]], where most export manufacturing takes place.

===Land purchase, initial early phase of construction===
<blockquote> "The Japanese government would end up assisting the new airport project as ODA, and in 1996, the project took a step forward with the signing of a loan agreement between the Government of Thailand and the Japanese government. Then, in 1996, Second Bangkok International Airport Company Ltd. (SBIA) was established as the project implementation organization, and the project got underway."<ref name="proj"/></blockquote>

It was scheduled to finish by 2000.<ref name="proj">{{cite web | url=https://www.jsce.or.jp/e/archive/project/pj17.html | title=Projet 17 &#124; Suvarnabhumi International Airport Project }}</ref>

===Airport tests and official opening===
The airport was due to open in late 2004. Still, a series of [[cost overrun|budget overruns]], construction flaws, and [[Corruption in the Suvarnabhumi Airport project|allegations of corruption]] plagued the project.

A further delay was caused by the discovery that the airport had been built over an old graveyard. Superstitious construction workers claimed to have seen ghosts there. On 23 September 2005, the Thai airport authority held a ceremony where 99 Buddhist monks chanted to appease the spirits.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110510015008/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article650902.ece Richard Lloyd Parry, "Poo Ming – a blue ghost who haunts $4bn airport"], ''The Times'', 27 September 2006</ref>

Full tests of the airport took place on 3 and 29 July 2006. Six local airlines — [[Thai Airways International]], [[Nok Air]], [[Thai AirAsia]], [[Bangkok Airways]], [[PBair]], and [[One-Two-Go Airlines]] — used the airport as a base for twenty domestic flights.<ref>''[[ThaiDay]]'', [http://www.manager.co.th/IHT/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9490000084922 "THAI discounts tickets for historic test flights"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110503205712/http://www.manager.co.th/IHT/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9490000084922 |date=3 May 2011 }}, 1 July 2006.</ref><ref>[http://etna.mcot.net/query.php?nid=23694 "PM Thaksin says Suvarnabhumi Airport ready in two months"], [[MCOT]], 29 July 2006. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013160403/http://etna.mcot.net/query.php?nid=23694 |date=13 October 2007 }}</ref>

Suvarnabhumi officially opened at 03:00 on 28 September 2006, taking over all flights from Don Mueang.

===Initial difficulties===
Difficulties were reported in the first few days of the airport's operation. On the first day alone, sluggish luggage handling was common—the first passenger arrival by Aerosvit took an hour for the luggage to start coming out, and some flights did not have their luggage coming out even after four hours.

===Capacity and safety issues===

====Tarmac problems====
In January 2007, ruts were discovered in the runways at Suvarnabhumi.<ref>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20071013132629/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1582126,00.html A Rough Takeoff for Bangkok's New Airport]'', ''Time'', 25 January 2007</ref> The east runway was scheduled to close for repairs. Expert opinions varied as to the cause of the ruts.<ref name="The Nation"/> Airport authorities and airline representatives maintained that the airport was still safe and resisted suggestions that the airport should be completely closed and all flights moved back to Don Mueang.<ref>[http://etna.mcot.net/query.php?nid=27551 New airport's east runway to close for repairs, return to Don Muang mooted], Thai News Agency, MCOT, 27 January 2007. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013160415/http://etna.mcot.net/query.php?nid=27551 |date=13 October 2007 }}</ref>

On 27 January 2007, the Department of Civil Aviation declined to renew the airport's safety certificate, which had expired the previous day. The [[International Civil Aviation Organization|ICAO]] requires that international airports hold aerodrome safety certificates, but Suvarnabhumi continued to operate because the ICAO requirement had yet to be adopted as part of Thai law.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2007/TRAVEL/01/27/thailand.airport.ap/index.html "Bangkok airport officially unsafe"], CNN, 27 January 2007 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070129142024/http://www.cnn.com/2007/TRAVEL/01/27/thailand.airport.ap/index.html |date=29 January 2007 }}</ref>

As of early 2016, tarmac problems persisted at Suvarnabhumi. Soft spots on the tarmac, taxiways, and apron area had not been permanently fixed. Aircraft were getting stuck on the soft surfaces that are the result of sub-standard materials. "The constant resurfacing of the tarmac, taxiways and apron area with asphalt is an unacceptable patchwork solution. We literally need a "concrete" solution", said Tony Tyler, [[International Air Transport Association|IATA]]'s director general and CEO.<ref>{{cite news|title=Thailand needs to do more for higher aviation competitiveness: IATA|url=http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Thailand-needs-to-do-more-for-higher-aviation-comp-30279621.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160219104952/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Thailand-needs-to-do-more-for-higher-aviation-comp-30279621.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 February 2016|access-date=18 February 2016|work=The Nation|date=18 February 2016}}</ref>

====Plans to re-open Don Mueang for domestic flights====

In January 2007, Thai Airways announced a plan to move some of its domestic operations back to [[Don Mueang International Airport]] due to overcrowding. Three days later, the Ministry of Transport recommended temporarily reopening Don Mueang while repair work on the runways at Suvarnabhumi proceeded. At that time, [[Thai Airways International|Thai Airways]] said it would shift most of its domestic flights back to Don Mueang while keeping flights with high international passenger connections such as [[Chiang Mai]] and [[Phuket Province|Phuket]] at Suvarnabhumi. On 28 March 2009, Thai Airways discontinued all domestic flights from Don Mueang. Bangkok Airways and [[One-Two-GO Airlines]] had similar plans, but Bangkok Airways remained at Suvarnabhumi. [[Thai AirAsia]] said it would not move unless it could shift both its international and domestic operations, prompting them to stay at Suvarnabhumi for the time being. [[Nok Air]] and [[PBair]] were undecided, but Nok Air later relocated all flights to Don Mueang, where they operate today.<ref>[http://nationmultimedia.com/2007/01/27/business/business_30025226.php Use Don Muang during repairs: 2 airlines] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202185621/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/01/27/business/business_30025226.php |date=2 February 2007 }}, ''The Nation'', 27 January 2007.</ref><ref>[http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/01/31/headlines/headlines_30025577.php Move to use 2 airports gets mixed reception] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202025414/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/01/31/headlines/headlines_30025577.php |date=2 February 2007 }}, ''The Nation'', 31 January 2007.</ref> As of January 2010, only Nok Air and One-Two-GO operated domestic flights from Don Mueang Airport.

As of 1 October 2012, Air Asia has moved all of its Bangkok operations to Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK).<ref>[http://www.airasia.com/my/en/latestnews/bangkok-move-don-mueang-airport.page AirAsia moves to Don Mueang Airport (1 October 2012)], ''Air Asia'', 13 August 2012. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120915122317/http://www.airasia.com/my/en/latestnews/bangkok-move-don-mueang-airport.page |date=15 September 2012 }}</ref>

====Repair and upgrades====
Airports of Thailand found that the cost of fixing 60 identified problems at the airport would be less than one percent of the total airline cost and the problems could be fixed in four to five years. Dr Narupol Chaiyut, a member of a committee overseeing service problems at the new airport, estimated that 70 percent of the problems would be fixed in 2007. Twenty of the 60 problems were successfully fixed by February 2007.<ref>[http://bangkokpost.net/Business/16Feb2007_biz42.php B1bn needed to fix terminal problems over four to five years], ''Bangkok Post'', 16 February 2007{{Dead link|date=September 2016}}</ref>

Suvarnabhumi Airport's main terminal roof is designed with structural elements and bays placed in a [[cantilever]]ed, wavelike form to appear to "float" over the concourse beneath. This overall design principle was to express the former essence of the site, from which water had to be drained before construction could begin. The eight composite 2,710-ton trusses supporting the canopy of the main terminal are essentially diagrams of the bending moments acting on them, with the greatest depth at mid-span and over the supports.<!--what?--><ref>[http://www.daapspace.daap.uc.edu/~larsongr/Larsonline/Truss_files/The%20Suvarnabhumi%20Airport.pdf Suvarnabhumi Airport], September 2008.

The result of [[Helmut Jahn]]'s vision is a structure with performance materials serve in their total composition and in use more than in their conventional roles.<!--what?--> This maximizes daylight use in comfort with substantial energy life-cycle cost savings. The installed cooling system reduced up to 50 percent compared to a conventional system. A translucent membrane with three layers was developed to mediate between the interior and exterior climate, dealing with noise and temperature transmission, while still allowing natural flow of daylight into building along with views of greenery outside.<ref>E-Architect, [http://www.e-architect.co.uk/thailand/suvarnabhumi_airport.htm Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok], 15 August 2008</ref>

Fearing that she could be killed for being a disgrace to her family and religion, she barricaded herself in the hotel room, opened a [[Twitter]] account to plead for her freedom, and requested assistance from [[United Nations]] agents to get her to the [[Western world]], away from her family, as a [[resettled refugee]].

==Facilities==

===Airport terminal===
Costing an estimated 155 billion [[Thai baht|baht]] (US$5 billion), the airport has three parallel [[runway]]s (60&nbsp;m wide, 4,000&nbsp;m and 3,700&nbsp;m long) and two parallel [[taxiway]]s to accommodate simultaneous departures and arrivals.<ref>[http://www.bangkokpost.net/tourismreview2005/10.html New Bangkok Airport – Now Aiming For July 2006 Opening], 2005.

The main passenger terminal building, with a capacity of handling 76 flight operations per hour, co-locates the international and domestic terminals, though assigning them to different parts of the concourse. In the initial phase of construction, it was capable of handling 45 million passengers and three million tonnes of [[Cargo airline|cargo]] per year.
The airport's main passenger terminal was, at the time of construction, the world's largest passenger terminal ever constructed in one phase at {{convert|563000|m2}}. The airport air-traffic control tower was the tallest in the world at {{convert|135|m|ft}} from 2006 to 2014.<ref name="ATCT"/>

From the opening of Suvarnabhumi in 2006 to early 2017, eight people had fallen to their deaths from upper-floor walkways, prompting the airport to spend 33 million baht in 2013 building glass barriers to prevent people from falling and/or taking their lives.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Mahitthirook|first1=Amornrat|last2=Chayutworakan|first2=Suttiwit|title=Foreign man falls to death at Suvarnabhumi|url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1224220/foreign-man-falls-to-death-at-suvarnabhumi|access-date=31 March 2017|work=Bangkok Post|date=31 March 2017}}</ref>

By mid-2015, the airport was handling more than 800 flights per day, higher than its 600-flight capacity. It has exceeded its capacity of 45 million passengers per year.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Sritama|first1=Suchat|title=Open-sky policy must continue, say airlines|url=http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Open-sky-policy-must-continue-say-airlines-30260797.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150525033346/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Open-sky-policy-must-continue-say-airlines-30260797.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=25 May 2015|access-date=24 May 2015|work=The Sunday Nation|date=24 May 2015}}</ref>

The two expansion projects are part of the overall airport enlargement that would see Suvarnabhumi raise its annual passenger handling capacity to 125 million passengers, 90 million international and 35 million domestic passengers by 2024 at an estimated cost of 163 billion baht (US$5.25 billion/€3.62 billion).

==== Future Expansion Projects (2025 onwards) ====
On 29 October 2024, it was reported that Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT) revised Suvarnabhumi's masterplan for expansion. The revision included cancelling a planned second Midfield Satellite Concourse (which would have been south of the existing satellite concourse) in favor of a massive new terminal on the airport's southern end. AOT made the revision due to fears that a second Midfield Satellite Concourse would not be enough to meet future demand. The new South Terminal will cost 120 billion baht ($3.7 billion USD) and have a capacity of 70 million passengers annually. It is set to open by the end of 2031. Alongside the new South Terminal, AOT is also planning the east terminal expansion project, which will add 81,000 square meters of space for passengers. Lastly, AOT has confirmed a fourth runway to be constructed east of Runway 1/19. The new runway will cost 20 billion baht ($615 million USD) and will be at least 12,000 feet in length, similar to the other runways at Suvarnabhumi. Bidding for contracts for the fourth runway is set to open in 2027, likely meaning that the runway will be completed alongside the new South Terminal. When fully complete, these projects will allow Suvarnabhumi Airport to serve 150 million passengers every year.<ref>{{Cite web |title=New Suvarnabhumi Expansion Plan!

*'''8 September 2013''': Thai Airways International Flight 679, an [[Airbus A330|Airbus A330-300]], (HS-TEF, ''[[Song Dao District|Song Dao]]''), arriving from [[Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport]] (CAN) had a [[runway excursion]] from runway 19L while landing in heavy rain with extensive damage to the airplane and the runway.

[[File:Suvarnabhumi Sky Lane.jpg|thumb|Sky Lane at Suvarnabhumi Airport]]
In December 2015, [[Airports of Thailand]] introduced the Sky Lane ({{langx|th|สกายเลน}}), a cycling track around the Suvarnabhumi airport perimeter. The entrance to the Sky Lane is located in the northeastern corner of the airport area. Cyclists can bring their bicycles and bike here for free. The Sky Lane is a controlled-access, one-direction, two-lane track built only for cycling, so the riders can be ensured that they will not be bothered by any vehicle. The Sky Lane's length is 23.5&nbsp;km, making it the longest in Asia.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/learning-from-news/648252/thailand-to-get-longest-bicycle-lane-in-asia-by-2017-with-photos |title=Thailand to get Longest bicycle lane in Asia by 2017 |newspaper=[[Bangkok Post]] |access-date=16 April 2016}}</ref> Sky Lane's facilities, which are specially designed for cyclists, include medical facilities, shops, food & beverage, track, parking lot and a rest area.
