Long Thanh International Airport to undergo navigation system calibration

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has approved a plan to conduct periodic flight testing and calibration of navigation systems and runway lighting at Long Thanh International Airport. The testing is scheduled to take place from 00:00 on October 11, 2026, until 23:59 on October 19, 2026.

The calibration will focus on the ILS/DME systems and the signal lighting for runways 05R/23L. The Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) and Long Thanh International Airport are tasked with leading the implementation and coordinating with relevant technical and air traffic control units to ensure absolute safety.

Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM) has been directed to manage flight operations during the testing and issue necessary Notices to Airmen (NOTAM). This testing occurs as the airport project enters its final stages of preparation for commercial operations, including comprehensive Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT) testing.
