2.5 As many flights are expected to arrive at and depart from Singapore Changi Airport shortly before and after the closure of Changi CTR, aircraft operators are advised to plan their flights to arrive or depart well before or after the closure of Changi CTR to avoid delays.

2.6 Aircraft operators are advised to take into consideration possibilities of airborne delay and plan for sufficient fuel for at least 20 minutes of holding.

2.7 Departing aircraft from Singapore Changi Airport will be facilitated to ensure sufficient lead-time to clear the Changi CTR prior to closure. The last departing aircraft shall take off no later than 3 minutes before the airport closure time.

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.
