Accordingly, the airport’s Terminal 2 will be constructed in 2021-2030, able to serve some 3 million passengers a year, and will then be expanded to increase the airport capacity to 7 million by 2050.
Meanwhile, it is designed to handle 20,000 tons of cargo and 30,000 tons by 2030 and 2050, respectively.
The airport is to become an international aerodrome, able to host Airbus A320, A321 and A350 and Boeing B747 and B787 aircraft or similar-sized ones.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam was assigned to study and complete the master plan, and coordinate with the provincial People’s Committee and relevant agencies to announce, manage and carry out the project.
Meanwhile, the provincial People’s Committee was asked to update the planning, and arrange a land fund for the airport expansion when necessary.
