¶ Overview
The purpose of the clearance delivery position is to provide air traffic control services related to the initial clearance of an aircraft for departure. Clearance delivery is one of the key positions within the air traffic control system.
- Issues departure clearances, including route, altitude, and instructions.
- The position ensures a smooth and efficient flow of departing aircraft.

SID assignment in Bangkok FIR is fairly simple. Depending on the route the aircraft is taking, the SID will be chosen to align the aircraft with that route.
There are two types of SIDs at Suvarnabhumi: RNAV and conventional SIDs.

¶ Squawk Code
The squawk code for Bangkok FIR are as follows:
| Flight Status | SSR Code |
|---|---|
| International | 0700-0777, 6100-6177 |
| Domestic | 1260-1277, 3301-3377, 4200-4277, 4400-4477, 4500-4577, 7200-7277 |
It is recommended to use the squawk request system in Aurora to prevent duplication of squawk codes.
¶ Overview
The purpose of the ground controller position is to provide air traffic control services related to aircraft movements on the ground. The ground controller is one of the key positions within the air traffic control system responsible for coordinating and guiding aircraft on the airport surface.
- Giving taxi instructions to departing and arriving aircraft.
- Giving departure instructions to VFR aircraft if necessary.

¶ Parking Area
There are a total of 4 apron areas at Suvarnabhumi, as seen in the map above. For each parking stand's coordinates and aircraft capacity, please refer to the AIP THAILAND.
¶ Special Procedure
The ground controller and tower controller coordinate for the transfer of aircraft control. Ideally, the transfer occurs before the aircraft reaches the holding point for the runway. This promotes smoother traffic flow.
¶ Overview
The purpose of the tower controller position is to provide air traffic control services related to the management of aircraft within the airport's air traffic zone. The tower controller is one of the key positions within the air traffic control system responsible for ensuring the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport.
- Giving take-off and landing clearance to departing and arriving aircraft.
- Giving departure instruction for aircraft.
- Giving traffic information to aircraft to look for traffic.
- Handle VFR aircraft in the airport circuit pattern.
