Japan will provide Myanmar with an airport surveillance system worth Y1.23 billion to be installed at six major airports, civil aviation authorities say.
The six airports are Mandalay International Airport, Nyung Oo Airport, Heho Airport, Thantwe Airport, Dawei Airport and Yangon International Airport.
Japan’s aid will include airport security, air traffic control, signal lamps, runway lights, fire extinguishers, X-ray machines, and scanners.
The system will be provided as part of a loan agreement between the Myanmar government and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), reached in March of this year.
On June 7, JICA also signed loan agreements totalling Y51.052 billion for three other projects with the Myanmar government, according to the JICA website.
The three loans focus on developing life-sustaining infrastructure all over Myanmar. This includes supporting economic activity in ethnic areas through the provision of stable power supply, as well as infrastructure development in Thilawa, the planned site for the Thilawa Special Economic Zone.
