The estimated value of grant is Japanese Yen 200,000,000. This cooperation program is responded to the proposal of Japan Radio Company limited and thanks to the approval of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan and the Ministry of Transport of Viet Nam.

Targets and scope of this cooperation program is that JRC provides VATM with non- refundable grant, including: equipment, transportation, installation, insurance, expert salary, related taxes and fees regarding the implementation of provision, installation, evaluation, testing of the MLAT system at Phu Quoc international airport. The duration for implementation and completion of the cooperation program is in two years of 2018 and 2019. Under the framework of the cooperation program, Japan will also conduct training to transfer technology and organize seminars regarding MLAT technology in Ha Noi and Phu Quoc for managing and executive officers from the Viet Nam Air Traffic Management Corporation, the Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam and the Airports Corporation of Viet Nam. After completing the installation, evaluation and acceptance, the MLAT system will be delivered in whole to the Viet Nam Air Traffic Management Corporation to put in operation to support air navigation services.

Signing Ceremony between VATM and JRC 

“The Viet Nam Air Traffic Management highly appreciates the opportunity to cooperate with JRC regarding this cooperation program” said Mr. Pham Viet Dung, Chairman of VATM. MLAT surveillance technology is a new technology that has not been implemented in Viet Nam. Phu Quoc international airport is a busy airport with high growth rate of flight movements. Therefore, the implementation of the MLAT system in Phu Quoc would contribute to enhance safety and capability of air navigation services provision at Phu Quoc airport, typically in bad weather conditions. On the other hands, this is an opportunity for VATM to get used to the new technology, creating foundation for the implementation of MLAT systems at other international airports of Viet Nam.
