Reassess airspace capabilities and flight procedures.
The Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM) has recently sent a document to the Ministry of Construction and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, providing feedback on the detailed planning document for Tho Xuan Airport for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050. In this document, VATM requested a review of several technical aspects, ranging from airspace capacity and navigation methods to the distance and operational plans for the two runways.
VATM requested the consulting unit to review and clarify the plan for operating the two runways in the detailed planning document for Tho Xuan Airport for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 (illustrative image).
Regarding airspace organization, VATM believes that the planning document has not fully assessed the airspace's capacity to handle the situation in each phase, corresponding to the projected passenger volume of 2 million passengers/year in 2030 and 7 million passengers/year in 2050.
