Vietnam’s Ministry of Construction has approved a master plan to develop Da Nang International Airport through 2030, with a long-term vision extending to 2050, the Vietnam News Agency reported on Tuesday (March 3).
Located in the Hoa Cuong and An Khe wards of Da Nang City, the airport will continue to serve as a major aviation hub for central Vietnam while retaining its dual-use function for both civil and military operations.
Under the plan, the airport’s annual capacity is expected to reach around 20 million passengers and 100,000 tonnes of cargo by 2030. Passenger volumes are projected to remain stable through 2050, while cargo capacity is set to increase to 330,000 tonnes per year.
The development will retain the airport’s two runways, expand apron space to accommodate 52 aircraft parking positions, and add new taxiways to improve operational efficiency.
Currently, Da Nang International Airport operates 24 direct air routes, including 16 international connections, with approximately 112 flights daily. The expansion plan is designed to support future growth in passenger traffic and cargo throughput while enhancing the airport’s operational capabilities.
