The international terminal of the airport serving the Laotian capital of Vientiane can now accommodate as many as 2.3 million foreign travelers a year, roughly nine times the original terminal’s capacity.
Japanese construction company Hazama Ando, which managed the expansion project at Wattay International Airport, officially passed the terminal over to the Lao Airports Authority on Thursday.
Also on Thursday, Japanese aviation services provider Jalux and trading house Toyota Tsusho agreed to a 10-year extension of their management of the international terminal in a joint venture with local concerns.
Laos is keen to become a travel destination and the expanded terminal will play a key role.
The government of Laos expects the number of people arriving in the country on international flights to reach 1.51 million in 2023.
The expansion project doubled the size of the international terminal to 25,000 sq. meters.
