AEROTHAI started the shadow operations of new air navigation system for Don Mueang Control Tower to ensure safety and efficiency.

AEROTHAI has carried out the air navigation infrastructure project named Thailand Modernization CNS/ATM System
(TMCS) to maximize the capability and efficiency of air navigation service. Now TMCS steps in the transition process
including the shadow operations. Mr. Tinnagorn Choowong and Mr. Suttipong Kongpool, Executive Vice President,
and staff attended  the shadow operations at Don Mueang Control Tower on 13 July 2018. The delegates of Civil
Aviation Authority of Thailand, Airports of Thailand, Nok Air, Thai Air Asia, and Thai Lion Air participated in this event.

Previously, the shadow operations started at Bangkok Approach Control, Suvarnbhumi Airport, in 2017 and plan
to expand to Chiang Mai Air Traffic Control Center in August 2018 and  other regional air traffic control centers.
The shadow operations parallel with the existing system to assure the efficiency of the new one and the new
procedure. The shadow operation is one of the most significant step for AEROTHAI to move towards enhanced
capacity, while maintaining our commitment and dedication to global safety standard.
