Advice for Operators
As many flights are expected to arrive at and depart from Singapore Changi Airport shortly before and after the closure of Changi CTR, operators are advised to plan their flights to arrive or depart long before or after the closure of Changi CTR to avoid delays
Operators should take into consideration possibilities of airborne delay and plan for sufficient fuel for at least 20 minutes of holding
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 not later than 5 minutes before the airport closure time
Air Traffic Flow Measurement (ATFM) at Changi Airport
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.
When the ATFM ground delay programme is implemented, inbound flights into 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. For the purpose of manning the delays, flights that are non-compliant or not part of the ground delay programme can expect to receive tactical ATC actions.
Tactical ATC Measures to Reduce Airbourne Delays at Changi Airport
For the last 15 minutes prior to the closures of Changi Airport, priority will be given to Changi arrivals where arrivals will be allowed to land on both runways.
For the first 15 minutes following Changi Airport’s re-opening, Changi arrivals will be allowed to land on both runways while departures will depart on Runway 02C/20C only.
