AEROTHAI Launches ATFM Services for Afghanistan Overflights

AEROTHAI (Aeronautical Radio of Thailand) has begun operating ATFM (air traffic flow management) services for westbound aircraft from South and Southeast Asia airports transiting Afghanistan airspace to destinations in Europe.

The regional service involves coordination between several countries with diverse capabilities that control between 50 to 60 westbound aircraft from over 30 airlines.  Each of these flights are now required to register a slot request with a secure Web-based computer system known as BOBCAT (Bay of Bengal cooperative air traffic flow management system), which allocates slots at specific Afghanistan entry points, including required time and flight level.

According to AEROTHAI, the new service is the first of its kind over such a large area in Asia and arguably the first of its kind in the world.  07-18-2007.
