Vân Đồn International Airport (Vietnamese: Sân bay quốc tế Vân Đồn) is an airport under construction in Vân Đồn District, Quảng Ninh Province, Vietnam, home to World Heritage Ha Long Bay. The airport is located about 50 km (31 mi) away from Hạ Long and 20 km (12 mi) from Cẩm Phả. The airport is scheduled to be open in June 2018.[1]
Background
Construction on the airport commenced in 2015. The 3-phase project has an estimated total budget of 7.5 trillion VND (US$330 million). Phase 1, expected to finish in mid-2018, include a 3,800 x 46m runway, a 25,000 m2 (270,000 sq ft) passenger terminal with an annual capacity of 2 million passengers[2] and 4 aprons capable of handling Airbus A321 and Boeing 777. The airport's last phase in 2030 will see an additional 3 more aprons and an expanded passenger terminal capable of handling 5 million passengers a year. [3]
The airport is the first airport in Vietnam to be developed under a build–operate–transfer format with its payback period expected to be 45 years.[1]
