Vice Chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee, Nguyen Hong Hai, on March 4 signed a decision approving a selected investor for the civil aviation component of the Phan Thiet Airport project, according to a news reported by Radio the Voice of Vietnam.
The designated investor is Phan Thiet Sun Airport Company Limited.
The Phan Thiet Airport project originally broke ground in January 2015. According to the approved master plan, the project consists of two main components: a military airfield and a civil airport. Currently, the military section, constructed by the Air Defense – Air Force Service, is already operational.
According to the Provincial People’s Committee, Phan Thiet Airport will meet the growing demand for air transport and serve as a catalyst for socio-economic development, while remaining integrated with national defense and security missions for the region and Lam Dong province.
The project’s specific objective is to serve Grade 4E civil aircraft, with a designed capacity of 2 million passengers per year by 2030. The airport will operate domestic routes and non-scheduled (charter) international flights based on demand.
