Singaporean construction and engineering firm Yongnam Holdings has announced that it is leading a consortium of engineering companies—Changi Airport Planners and Engineers, Tokyo-listed JGC Corporation, and itself—in submitting a proposal for the right to design, construct, operate and maintain Yangon International Airport on a 30-year concession.
In a statement on Monday, the Singapore firm said it had in February submitted an initial request to the Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation in an earlier round of pre-qualification.
Yongnam pointed to its “strong track record” of infrastructural projects both in Singapore and overseas. In the airport sector, Yongnam’s experience includes Singapore’s Changi Airport, Suvarnabhumi International Airport (Bangkok), Brunei International Airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, New Delhi International Airport and Mumbai International Airport.
