 Subject:

An aircraft flying over Thai territory under the directive of AEROTHAI, i.e. the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand, provides Air Traffic Control (ATC) services using radar and Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) systems in order to manage and control the flow of air traffic over Thailand's national airspace. Both systems can provide aircraft information, such as call sign, position, heading and altitude, as well as other information necessary for effective ATC operations. The postage stamp's background consists of a radar screen, whilst a red radar antenna is depicted in the bottom right corner. In the top left corner, is AEROTHAI's 50th Anniversary logo, i.e. the frontal view of an airplane over the number 50.
