The project is being implemented in two phases. The first phase reportedly includes direct construction works while the second phase includes technical works and work on improvement of neighborhood.
The governments of Tajikistan and Japan last year signed a grant agreement for implementation of the Dushanbe International Airport Improvement Project.
Under this agreement the Government of Japan provides 1.914 billion yens (equivalent to 17.5 million U.S. dollars) for construction of the cargo terminal, purchase and installation of the ILS and PALS navigation systems, as well as purchase of equipment for baggage and air cargo processing.
The systems and the equipment have reportedly been purchased in Norway, Germany, Belgium and Japan.
Japan’s Added Value Corporation has been selected to supply ILS and PALS systems to Dushanbe.
The Added Value Corporation specialists began supplying ILS (instrument landing system) and PALS (precision aircraft landing system) systems and the equipment for the cargo terminal to Dushanbe in the first half-year of 2017m the DIA press center said.
