The National Assembly on December 11 approved a resolution on the investment policy for Gia Binh International Airport - a project of significance for the aviation infrastructure in the capital region, according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.
The investment aims to develop the Gia Binh International Airport to international standards as a smart, green, and sustainable next-generation facility, meeting socio-economic development, supporting dual-use operations, ensuring security and defence, and hosting important diplomatic events, including the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting 2027.
The airport is expected to meet five-star international service standards, ranking among the world’s top 10 five-star airports according to Skytrax, and be recognised for excellent passenger experience by the Airports Council International. It aims to serve as the northern gateway, a regional hub for passenger and cargo transit, and a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility for the Asia-Pacific region.
Covering an area of nearly 2,000 ha in northern Bac Ninh province, the project has an estimated investment of VND196.37 trillion ($7.45 billion). Classified as an ICAO 4F airport, it is designed to serve around 30 million passengers and 1.6 million tons of cargo annually by 2030, and approximately 50 million passengers and 2.5 million tons of goods annually by 2050.
