The two bids were below the reference price of the tender, of $10 million. The company that wins the contract will carry out the study, design, remodeling, supply, installation, testing and delivery of the new radar approach control center.  

Prensa.com reports that "...Currently, the air traffic control center monitors all air traffic passing through the national territory.  Once the new equipment is up and running, the idea is to divide the work.  

"The first center will be responsible for the aircraft touching down on Panamanian soil, while aircraft using the national airspace bound for other countries will be monitored by the new facility."
