"What is needed is a new one-way route system, similar to a regional super-highway, where each one-way route is separated into general directions for easier management," Mr Somnuk said. "Instead of having one lane in airspace for flights going in both directions, there should be one general lane for each direction," he said. Mr Somnuk said Thailand currently handles around one million flights per year. According to Aerothai the country sees an average of 2,600 flights per day, including domestic, international, and flights which pass through Thai airspace. "With our present airspace management system, we are barely able to handle the one million flights annually we currently do," he said.
