7  Ground Delay Program (GDP) through the provision of Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT)

GDP will be implemented by Bangkok Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (BKK ATFMU) to balance the demand and capacity over congested area. CTOT will be issued to the flights entering BACC sector 2S and 3S to land at VTSP, VTST, VTSF, VTSG and VTSS.

Specific timing of GDP periods each day will be published in the ATFM Daily Plan (ADP), which will be distributed via e-mail to all stakeholders that provided their e-mail to Bangkok ATFMU one day before operations.

When GDP is active, ATS units and aircraft operators are requested to adhere to the procedure published in the AIP Thailand ENR 1.9 and Bangkok ATFMU User’s Manual
