Under the adjusted 2021–2030 master plan with a vision toward 2050, which has been approved by the People's Council of northern Bac Ninh Province, a 5,000-hectare free trade zone connected to Gia Binh International Airport will be developed as a modern integrated complex combining manufacturing, logistics, trade, services, innovation and  digital economy, according to a report from Vietnam News Agency.

It is envisioned as a gateway connecting Vietnam to global markets, a key hub coordinating economic flows across the northern growth region, and a catalyst for stronger links among Hanoi, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and neighbouring industrial provinces.

To support the project, Bac Ninh is accelerating investment in Gia Binh International Airport, which is planned to meet ICAO 4F standards. The airport is expected to handle 30 million passengers and 1.6 million tons of cargo annually by 2030, rising to 50 million passengers and 2.5 million tons of cargo by 2050.
