don
AOT: a NR dated Feb 15, 2017 provided an explanation of the auditors comments re; the impact of renewing the state property lease. As I read it, the current basis is a revenue sharing one. That means that all that vacant land around the 6 airports can be held at no cost to AOT; that is, until they develope it and generate revenue. AOT’s 10 year development plan (budget 200 billion) . Pon, do you see this as blue sky?
Pon
That is effectively correct, it’s great being a monopoly

Thank you, Pon.
