The trial service of the airport rail link, which was scheduled to begin on Friday, has been postponed indefinitely because of the continuing political unrest, Transport Minister Sohpon Zarum said on Thursday.
The announcement came after the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation voiced concerns about the political unrest stemming from the red-shirt rallies.
“We are concerned about the safety of the passengers,” Mr Sohpon told reporters.
The airport rail link runs between the city air terminal at Makkasan in central Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi airport.
Mr Sohpon said the postponement of the trial service will not affect the commercial opening of the rail link, which is set for July.
