Dependent on the work being carried out at the time, there may be a period of up to 2 hours before the closed runway is available.

4  OTHERS

4.1  Due to expected congestions and high possibilities of airborne delay, aircraft operators are advised to avoid using Suvarnabhumi International Airport (VTBS) as an alternate aerodrome and extra fuel should be taken into account when runway 01R/19L is closed.

4.2  The runway preventive maintenance schedule may be revised in the event of forecast or actual adverse weather conditions or other extenuating circumstances.
