According to the leaders of Quang Tri province, with the strategic orientation of developing to become a leading aviation group, T&T is implementing research on an urban complex of airport - aviation industry - logistics services - trade in Quang Tri.

The ecosystem includes airlines, industry, airports, services, maintenance, repair, flight services, as well as airport urban complexes and high-tech industries; forming an aviation industrial complex - airport urban ecosystem with a scale of about 10,800 hectares with connectivity, open space orientation, developing into a complex of regional and international scale.

T&T Group also plans to expand into air cargo transportation; develop a regional air cargo transportation center, participate in the development of aviation services, ground services, technical services and aviation industry with the core being Quang Tri Airport.

During the implementation process, in order to ensure long-term exploitation, in line with the development orientation, the enterprise proposed and was approved by the competent authority to design and construct the runway structure to ensure the reception of code E aircraft.

Breakthrough strategy in development aspirations

Referring to the advantages of the port, Mr. Tien emphasized the “4 in 1” airport model including urban, industrial, high-tech science and services linked in a comprehensive, modern and sustainable spatial structure. This is considered a breakthrough, timely and long-term strategy to materialize the province’s development aspirations in the new period.

Quang Tri clearly identifies that the airport is not only a transport infrastructure, but must become the nucleus of urban and high-tech industry.

Provincial leaders also proposed a group of orientations for developing the Quang Tri "4 in 1" airport model.

Firstly, building a modern airport urban area, in which the airport is the core, surrounded by commercial, service, research and ecological urban areas. Forming a modern, green - smart - sustainable urban space, harmoniously combining industrial development, services and residential life.

Application of smart urban technology: smart public transport system, AI infrastructure management, Internet of Things (IoT) for energy - environment.

Second, based on Quang Tri's strategic advantages to develop export industries, supporting industries, and deep processing, Quang Tri Airport will play a role in directly connecting with the Southeast economic zone, industrial parks, and seaports in the province, forming a modern production - export - logistics chain, and forming an international freight transit center.

Regarding the field of science and technology, Quang Tri owns a source of white silica sand - a strategic raw material for the production of semiconductor materials (wafers) for the electronic chip industry.

“With this advantage, we aim to develop high-tech industrial clusters, attracting international corporations in the fields of AI, IoT, electric vehicles, and smart medical equipment. In particular, the semiconductor industry will become the “technology heart” of the airport city, contributing to making Quang Tri the semiconductor materials center of Vietnam in the future,” Mr. Tien emphasized.

Regarding the development of international services and tourism, the airport needs to aim at forming an international trade, service and logistics center associated with the airport, creating high-value service products, serving the entire North Central region.

At the same time, the airport will connect Quang Tri with major tourist centers, contributing to the development of tourism and services in the province and the region; thereby, making Quang Tri an attractive destination in the Hue - Quang Tri - Da Nang tourist triangle.

“With the determination and aspiration to build a "4-in-1" airport city, Quang Tri Airport is not only a transport infrastructure project, but also a breakthrough development strategy to create high-quality jobs, attract domestic and foreign investment, and shift the economic structure towards modernity and sustainability…”, Mr. Le Duc Tien affirmed.
