Lien Khuong International Airport in the central province of Lam Dong, home to popular tourist city Da Lat, is expected to resume operations on Aug. 19 after five months of suspension for repairs and upgrades, the state-run Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV) said.
The airport was closed for construction projects on March 4.
The project is invested by ACV, with a total investment of over VND1 trillion (US$38 million), including the repair of the entire runway, taxiways, safety strips, and technical infrastructure and equipment to ensure flight operations.
With such a large-scale construction project, the airport will not only comprehensively restore the airfield’s structural integrity to ensure safe operation in all weather conditions, but also serve as a strategic stepping stone to realize the plan for the airport to become the aviation hub of the Central Highlands region in the new development phase.
According to the plan, by 2030, Lien Khuong Airport will meet the 4E standard, qualifying it to handle wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, with a capacity of approximately 5 million passengers and 20,000 tonnes of cargo per year.
After 2030, the runway is expected to be extended to 3,600 m, increasing the total capacity of the airport to approximately seven million passengers per year.
