3 AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT (ATFM) MEASURES FOR FLIGHTS ARRIVING AT SINGAPORE CHANGI AIRPORT

3.1 ATFM measures, where necessary, will be in place to regulate the air traffic flow to match the prevailing capacity prior to and after the re-opening of Singapore Changi Airport. Please refer to AIP Singapore ENR 1.9 for details on ATFM procedures.

3.2 When ATFM ground delay programme is implemented, flights arriving at Singapore Changi Airport which are issued with a Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT) shall comply with the restriction. The compliance window of minus 5 / plus 10 minutes will be measured for CTOT. In order to effectively manage the flow of traffic arriving at Singapore Changi Airport, flights that are non-compliant or not part of the ground delay programme can expect to receive tactical ATC actions.
