Tiếng ViệtMore than 200 delegates at both home and abroad are gathering in Da Nang from July 7 – 9 for the CANSO Asia Pacific Conference 2026, hosted by the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM).
They are representatives from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO), aviation authorities, air navigation service providers, airlines and technology companies from across the Asia-Pacific region and around the world.
Reinforcing Vietnam’s role in regional aviation
This is the second time Vietnam has been selected by CANSO to host the CANSO Asia-Pacific Conference, following its first edition in Ha Noi in 2017.
Hosting the event affirms the growing role of Vietnam and VATM in the regional air traffic management community as well as reflects the confidence that ICAO, CANSO and international partners place in the country’s organizational capabilities and contributions to aviation safety and air navigation services.
In his remarks at the opening ceremony on Wednesday, Deputy Minister of Construction Le Anh Tuan said the Asia-Pacific region remains one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets.
The rapid recovery and growth of air transport have opened up new opportunities for economic development, trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.
Unlocking opportunities through regional cooperation
Held under the theme “Accelerating implementation of air navigation services modernization and unlocking opportunities through regional collaboration”, the event highlights the aviation sector’s need not only to modernize technology and infrastructure but also to strengthen cooperation, information sharing and harmonized standards among countries, service providers and industry partners.
Ms. Andrea Sack, Senior Vice President of CANSO, shared that increasingly busy skies reflect people’s aspirations for greater connectivity between individuals, businesses and nations.
“The spirit of connectivity has always been a topic close to my heart and one that has connected me with the Asia-Pacific region throughout many years” she said.
During the event, delegates exchanged experience on modernizing air traffic management and discussed lessons from the Single European Sky initiative applied across the Asia-Pacific region.
Participants also explored the development of a common situational awareness framework to facilitate data sharing and improve cross-border coordination of air traffic operations.
In addition to plenary sessions and thematic workshops, the conference featured bilateral meetings between VATM and international air navigation service providers to discuss future cooperation in technical development and human resource training.
