IFALPA published a Safety Bulletin, regarding the operation of aircraft at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport (VTBS/BKK).
This Safety Bulletin is based on a recently revised IATA Operational Notice alerting airlines of the ongoing risk to aircraft operations at BKK airport due to soft ground conditions affecting the taxiways, taxi lanes, and aircraft stands. Soft ground conditions or “soft spots” have been encountered and reported by flight crews and ground service providers at BKK since at least 2008.
Please note, that this Safety Bulletin supersedes Safety Bulletin 19SAB14 -Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) issued in 2019.
We encourage you to take note of this important Safety Bulletin in case you operate at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport (VTBS/BKK).
