The People's Committee of Nghe An Province has approved a plan for three projects to expand Vinh Airport.

The plan will address the region's increasing travel demands and enhance air transport infrastructure, aligning with the development objectives of the central province and the broader North Central region.

The first project focuses on the expansion and renovation of the aircraft apron, ensuring the operation of nine parking positions for Code C aircraft. Construction is set to begin before April 30, 2025, with completion anticipated by December 2025. This project has a total investment of over VND236 billion (approximately $9.3 million).

The second involves the renovation of Passenger Terminal T1, which will enhance the terminal's capacity to accommodate 3–3.5 million passengers per year by 2030. Approved by the Airports Corporation of Vietnam - JSC, this project will commence construction before April 30, 2025, and is expected to be completed by December 2025. The total investment for this renovation stands at over VND68 billion (around $2.66 million).

The third project addresses the renovation of the existing runway. For this endeavor, the airport will temporarily cease operations during the project's implementation. The upgraded runway is scheduled to reopen for service by December 31, 2025. This project entails an investment capital exceeding VND623 billion (roughly $24.4 million).
