Bay of Bengal Cooperative Air Traffic Flow Management System (BOBCAT) is the Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) of Asia.

CFMU (Central Flow Management Unit) was launched in 2007 by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Aeronautical Radio of Thailand, Ltd (AEROTHAI).

The Bay of Bengal Cooperative Air Traffic Flow Management System (BOBCAT) is a secure web-based computer system used to strategically manage westbound aircraft operating from South and Southeast Asia to Europe during the busy night time period. These aircraft transit the Afghanistan airspace, which is limited in capacity in supporting air traffic.
