Ms. Mallika Jirapantwanich, Deputy Minister of Transport, revealed after inspecting the air traffic control towers in Trang and Krabi that she had instructed the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Limited (AEROTHAI) to monitor and track the tense situation in the Middle East, which broadly affects air transportation. She emphasized supporting and facilitating airlines in advance flight route planning to avoid risky areas and preparing measures to handle subsequent impacts. Furthermore, she directed close coordination with related agencies to adapt air traffic management appropriately given the international airspace restrictions. She also encouraged all operational staff, and issued policies to enhance air traffic service efficiency to fully handle airport flight capacity, develop modern air navigation technology, manage air traffic flow to reduce delays, and optimize flight routes and airspace usage with utmost safety. This aims to support tourism sectors in Trang and Krabi provinces, stimulating economic growth and expansion.
Mr. Surachai Nuprom, Deputy Senior Executive Vice President and Acting Senior Executive Vice President of AEROTHAI, stated that as the agency responsible for air traffic management and air navigation services, AEROTHAI has implemented measures to elevate surveillance and readiness for air navigation services amid the Middle East conflict. They have established Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) protocols to coordinate air traffic volume suitably with both domestic and international aviation agencies. Additionally, they have planned reserve staffing to handle abnormal situations, adjusted task assignments according to circumstances, and strictly enforced the highest-level security measures to ensure all flights are facilitated with the highest standards and safety.
