On July 29, Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM) announced the opening of the new Buon Ma Thuot Air Traffic Control Station, located in the Buon Ma Thuot Airport area ( Dak Lak province).
The new Buon Ma Thuot Air Traffic Control Tower is built on an area of 1,500m² with a total investment of 74 billion VND. The construction items include a 3-storey above-ground control building and a semi-basement floor, with a construction area of 1,734m², directly connected to the control tower.
The highlight of the project is the command tower with a height of 37m, designed with 12 floors, with a cabin area of 60m². The circular tower body with metal cladding combined with glass is the architectural and landscape highlight of the airport area. The interior of the air traffic control cabin is designed to be spacious, ensuring enough working space for the forces participating in VATM's flight operations and ensuring the necessary conditions for mixed command for military and civil forces.
The entire specialized equipment system of Buon Ma Thuot Air Traffic Control Station includes: radio communication system, voice switching system, digital recording system, GPS clock system, transmission equipment system, etc. are invested synchronously and modernly to meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
After being put into use, the new Buon Ma Thuot Air Traffic Control Station will replace the existing air traffic control station. With modern equipment, it will increase the coverage and visibility, thereby increasing the ability to control approaching flights at the airport in the controlled airspace, meeting the increasing demand for air travel in the area today and ensuring to meet the increasing air traffic in the future.
Together with the infrastructure and synchronous equipment at Buon Ma Thuot Airport, the new air traffic control station will ensure the flight operation capacity of 15 flights per hour, equivalent to about 131,000 flights per year; ensure safe, smooth and efficient flight operations for all civil and military flights; improve economic efficiency for airlines, contributing to ensuring national security and defense in the Central Highlands region in general and Dak Lak province in particular.
