Construction of new terminal at Dong Hoi airport is about to start

According to the Ministry of Transport (MOT), in the master plan for aviation and airport development recently approved by the Prime Minister, by 2030, Dong Hoi airport will have a capacity of 3 million passengers per year; with a vision to 2050, the capacity will be 5 million passengers per year. Thus, the investment in building passenger terminal T2 is consistent with the planning and development orientation of Dong Hoi airport.

In 2022, the People's Committee of Quang Binh province reported to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Transport to propose allowing investment and exploitation of Dong Hoi airport in the form of socialization.

However, after research and review, it was found that the investment still had many legal problems, so the People's Committee of Quang Binh province proposed a plan for ACV to invest in the project to build a new passenger terminal T2.

Regarding capital, the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises and ACV announced that they can balance enough capital to invest in the T2 passenger terminal project, phase 2021-2025.

Regarding the project progress, the Ministry of Transport has requested the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises to direct and urge ACV to proactively implement procedures to prepare for project investment to shorten the implementation progress, and soon put it into operation to meet transportation needs and socio-economic development.

At the same time, strive to approve the investment policy in October 2023 and complete site clearance in the second quarter of 2024.

Therefore, the Ministry of Transport requested the Quang Binh provincial government to closely coordinate with the Ministry of National Defense and relevant units to promptly complete procedures to adjust planning, land use plans and change the purpose of using 10.6 hectares of national defense land to civil aviation land.

Localities also need to study and consider supporting site clearance funding for the project and implementing related procedures to create conditions for ACV to be able to implement it soon.

Previously, in early June, ACV proposed an investment plan for Dong Hoi airport by combining the T2 passenger terminal construction project and the aircraft parking lot construction project at Dong Hoi airport into one project.

The total investment for the construction of the T2 passenger terminal and the expansion of the aircraft parking lot at Dong Hoi Airport, excluding site clearance costs, is approximately VND1,968 billion, of which the cost of building the terminal is approximately VND1,750 billion and the aircraft parking lot is approximately VND218 billion.

ACV plans to start construction of passenger terminal T2 in the third quarter of 2024 and complete it in the first quarter of 2026.
