Do KVKS departures need to be issued a clearance void time?

KVKS departures require a clearance void time to ensure that pilots are aware of the timeframe within which their clearance remains valid. This is particularly important for maintaining safety and operational efficiency. A clearance void time stipulates that if the aircraft does not take off within that specified duration, the clearance becomes void, requiring the pilot to obtain a new clearance before proceeding.

By issuing a clearance void time, air traffic control can manage the flow of air traffic more effectively and ensure that pilots remain informed about their flight status. This practice helps to prevent misunderstandings and ensures that pilots are briefed on the need for prompt action concerning their clearances. It is applicable to all KVKS departures, irrespective of the nature of the flight, be it domestic or international.
