Perspective view of Gia Binh International Airport. |
Gia Binh International Airport is located in the communes of Gia Binh, Luong Tai, Nhan Thang, and Lam Thao in Bac Ninh province. The airport is built to the 4F standard of the International Civil Aviation Organization, designed to handle approximately 30 million passengers and 1.6 million tons of cargo annually by 2030; and approximately 50 million passengers and 2.5 million tons of cargo by 2050.
The total investment capital is approximately VND 196,370 billion, including VND 141,230 billion in phase one and VND 55,140 billion in phase two, using investor capital, including equity and legally raised capital. The project is considered to play a role in promoting the growth pole in the East of Hanoi and meeting the air transport needs of the Northern key economic region.
The airport is planned with two pairs of parallel runways, 1,800 meters apart, ensuring independent take-offs and landings. By 2030, the project will construct parking areas in front of the VIP terminal, passenger terminal, cargo terminal, and maintenance area with approximately 83 parking positions; this will be expanded to approximately 123 positions by 2050.
The passenger terminal is designed to 5-star standards, optimizing space and functionality, and seamlessly connecting with the national, regional, and provincial transportation networks. Hanoi will be directly connected via expressways, urban rail, and the national grid. The project requires nearly 1,900 hectares of land and affects approximately 7,100 households.
The government aims for Gia Binh Airport to meet international standards, becoming a smart, green, and sustainable airport; serving dual-use operations and striving to be among the top 10 5-star airports in the world according to Skytrax. The airport also aims to be among those with excellent passenger experience according to the International Airport Council, serving as a gateway to Northern Vietnam and a hub for passenger and cargo transit, as well as a regional aircraft maintenance center in the Asia-Pacific.
The Vinh - Thanh Thuy expressway connecting to Laos will be implemented next year.
Immediately following the resolution on Gia Binh Airport, the National Assembly approved the investment plan for the Vinh - Thanh Thuy expressway connecting with Laos. The route starts at the Eastern North-South Expressway in Nghe An province and ends at the Thanh Thuy Border Gate Economic Zone, with four lanes and a design speed of 80-100 km/h.
According to the government, the Hanoi-Vientiane expressway is approximately 370 km long within Vietnamese territory, of which the 310 km section coinciding with the North-South expressway will be completed in 2025. The 60 km Vinh-Thanh Thuy section has not yet been invested in, and its implementation is considered necessary to complete the connection between the two countries.
The Vinh - Thanh Thuy expressway project has a total investment of nearly 23,940 billion VND, using central government budget from increased revenue in 2024 and budget sources for the 2026-2030 period. The route is expected to start construction in 2026 and be put into operation in 2029.
