This morning (July 16), Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee announced that it has just submitted to the Ministry of Transport the planning project for Van Phong Airport for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 (Van Phong airport).

With this project, Khanh Hoa province proposed to build Van Phong airport in Van Thang commune, Van Ninh district. The total land area of the project is over 497 hectares. The implementation location is about 65km south of Nha Trang city, over 100km south of Cam Ranh international airport and 49km north of Tuy Hoa airport, Phu Yen province. The planned airport planning area is located entirely on the coastal water surface. This location has no residents, no planning for boat mooring, no protective forest, facilitating site clearance.

Van Phong Airport is proposed to be built in the first phase with a capacity of 1.5 million passengers per year, 4E design standards to accommodate large aircraft such as A350, B787 and is expected to be completed before 2029. The total investment of the project is about 7,890 billion VND.

According to the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, the locality proposed 3 investment options for this project under the public-private partnership (PPP) method. In which, option 1 is that the state will support the relocation, and the PPP investor will invest in the complete construction of the airport infrastructure.

Option 2, PPP investors invest in some essential works such as building passenger terminals, aircraft parking lots, and traffic infrastructure. State budget sources (central and local budgets) invest in the remaining items including airport leveling, building runways and taxiways, and works to ensure flight operations.

Option 3 is the State budget (central budget and local budget) to support relocation, invest in works to ensure flight operations, and partially support the ground leveling work of the airport area.

According to Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, after evaluation, survey and analysis, the locality proposed option 3 for research and implementation to ensure rationality and feasibility.
