'Soft spots' on taxiways and aircraft parking areas were the subject of a complaint by international airline pilots in April. The main risk was the discovery of several "soft spots" on taxiways, taxi lanes and aircraft stands at Suvarnabhumi. "Suvarnabhumi is facing problems related to soft spots because it was built this way," Mr Nitinai said. Mr Nitinai said there are currently a minimum of 21 soft spots at Suvarnabhumi, adding 11 have already been temporarily fixed. Authorities would be able to deal with the remaining soft spots by August.
