ACV to pour VNĐ4 trillion into upgrading Cát Bi International Airport

The Airports Corporation of Việt Nam (ACV) is focusing on accelerating investment in key projects at Cát Bi International Airport (Hải Phòng) with a total investment capital of about VNĐ4 trillion (US$170.1 million).

These projects include passenger terminal T2, a parking lot in front of the new terminal and a cargo terminal, as well as a number of projects to renovate and expand existing aircraft parking areas.

For the T2 construction project, ACV has completed the selection of consultancy contractors for the feasibility study (FS). The winning contractors are preparing architectural plans for the passenger terminal, the FS and basic designs.

The terminal will have a capacity of five million passengers per year and be able to expand to 10 million passengers per year. The auxiliary works for the terminal include the synchronous infrastructure system and traffic system to connect with terminal T1. Total investment is around VNĐ1.6 trillion (excluding land clearance costs) and construction is scheduled to complete by the fourth quarter of 2020.

ACV is completing the procedures for the approval of expansion projects as regulated. The project of building a cargo terminal and parking lot in front of T2 is in the process of selecting consultant contractors to carry out a feasibility study.

The auxiliary works for the terminal and the infrastructure system have a total investment of about VNĐ390 billion.

Vietnam set to bring Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport expansion back to front burner

The government is considering the expansion of Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport to handle 80-100 million passengers a year by 2050.
Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has just instructed the Ministry of Transport to review the airport expansion plan drafted years ago.

Noi Bai is one of Vietnam’s most important airports and an international gateway to the north, but is overloaded, he said. The airport has a capacity of 25 million passengers and last year served 23 million.

He told the ministry to work with consultancies to finalize plans for the development of the airport until 2030 with a vision to 2050.

It should also collaborate with city authorities to come up with a plan for land acquisition and resettlement of people, he added.

The plan sought to increase the airport’s capacity to 50 million by 2030 and 80-100 million by 2050.

It was estimated to totally cost $5.5 billion, $3.5 billion for construction and $2 billion for land acquisition and resettlement of affected people.

The funding for the review of any changes to the plan will come from non-refundable official development assistance from France.

The transport ministry last month ordered repairs to the airport to fix cracks in the runway and material falling off between concrete slabs.

In August airport operator Airports Corporation of Vietnam said it plans to upgrade 16 of the 21 civilian airports in the country, including Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat in HCMC.

It estimated a price tag of VND56.7 trillion ($2.4 billion).

Vietnam’s aviation industry has experienced rapid development in recent years.

There were more than 9.4 million air passengers in the first nine months of this year, a 17.4 percent rise year-on-year, according to the General Statistics Office.
