The presidential order authorizing the emergency contracting of this service, in the amount of 4,850 million kwanzas, has already been published in the Diário da República and delegates the opening of the award procedure to the Ministry of Finance.
The emergency contract is justified by the urgency of the requalification of this system at the airport of the Angolan capital to maintain "its robustness and operability".
A malfunction in the lighting of the beacon system left Luanda International Airport in darkness last Tuesday and several aircraft on the ground.
