Da Nang International Airport held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new cargo terminal project on January 16.
As Da Nang’s economy continues to grow robustly, particularly in the tourism, trade, and service sectors, the demand for air freight has risen sharply. However, the airport's existing infrastructure has become overloaded and is no longer able to keep pace with this increasing demand.
With a total investment of VND631 billion ($24 million) and a design capacity of 100,000 tons per year, the new cargo terminal serves as a timely and essential solution to these logistical bottlenecks.
The construction of this facility not only addresses current transportation needs but also opens up significant opportunities for Da Nang to integrate more deeply into global supply chains and logistics networks.
Covering an area of more than 2.4 ha, the terminal will feature modern infrastructure, including advanced environmental treatment systems and auxiliary facilities that meet international standards.
This development is expected to enhance aviation logistics capacity, provide strong support for import-export activities, attract foreign investment, and foster the growth of free trade zones.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Chairman of the City People's Committee, Pham Duc An, emphasized the project's vital role in boosting the competitiveness of Da Nang International Airport.
"Once completed, the terminal will accelerate import-export growth and attract investment, particularly in high-value-added economic sectors," said Mr. An.
"This project is a key component of the strategic vision to transform Da Nang into a logistics hub connecting the Central Key Economic Zone and the East-West Economic Corridor."
