THE future of Vietnamese aviation is "bright" as long as it creates cost-effective airports, navigation services, and employs standard technology, said International Air Transport Association (IATA) chief.By 2014, Vietnam is projected to be the world's third fastest growing market for international passengers and freight, and the second fastest for domestic passengers, said IATA director-general and CEO Giovanni Bisignani.
"But it is a future that cannot be taken for granted. Vietnamese aviation must be built and supported by sound policies that take into account that this is a dynamic industry where change is the only constant," he said at a meeting with the Vietnam Airlines, the Southern Airport Corporation and Vietnam's air navigation supplier (VATM).
To meet traffic expansion in the region VATM must make ADS-B and performance-based navigation (PBN) a priority.
ADS-B allows aircraft to fly more efficiently using satellite based navigation systems while PBN uses the equipment on board aircraft to improve landings.
Mr Bisignani applauded the country's three-year discount scheme to provide relief to major airports introduced in April 2010, but added more is needed to reduce costs for users of its airports and airspace.
