The Ministry of Construction has approved a master plan for Da Nang International Airport in central Da Nang city for the 2021–2050 period, marking a significant milestone in Vietnam’s transport infrastructure development strategy, particularly for the central region.

The plan aims to enhance the airport’s service capacity while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.

Under the approved blueprint, Da Nang International Airport will be upgraded to Category 4E in accordance with standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). During the 2021–2030 period, the airport is expected to handle around 20 million passengers and 100,000 tonnes of cargo annually. By 2050, cargo throughput is projected to reach 330,000 tons per year, meeting the region’s growing socio-economic development needs.

As part of the plan, the domestic passenger terminal (T1) will be expanded to accommodate approximately 14 million passengers per year. Meanwhile, the international terminal (T2) will be renovated and upgraded to raise its capacity to around 6 million passengers annually.

The long-term development roadmap is expected to strengthen Da Nang’s role as a key aviation gateway for central Vietnam and a regional hub for tourism, trade and logistics.
