Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)has proposed the Ministry of Transport add nine airports to the nationalairport planning for 2030 with a vision to 2050.
The proposed airports are in Ha Giang, Yen Bai, Tuyen Quang, Ha Tinh, Kon Tum,Quang Ngai, Khanh Hoa, Dak Nong and Tay Ninh provinces.
The proposal was raised after the CAA spent a month working directly with tenprovinces on the proposal of developing airports in these provinces. Oneproposal for an airport in Moc Chau in Son La province waseliminated because of the unfavourable weather conditions.
CAA urged localities to set up feasibility reports and capital-raising plansfor building the airports, adding that the State budget would not providecapital for developing these airports.
According to the airport planning which the Ministry of Transport submitted tothe Government, there will be 28 airports across the country by 2030 and 31 by2050.
The transport ministry raised six standards for airport development, includingcargo transportation demand, socio-economic development demand, nationaldefence and security, emergency and relief response, natural condition andapproach distance.
Pham Huu Son, General Director of TEDI, which was providing consultancy toairport planning, said that these standards aimed to prevent the waste ofresources and served as the base for private investors to quantify theefficiency when investing in airport development following public–privatepartnerships.
Priority should be given to remote areas and islands or localities with largepotential for tourism development, Son said.
He added that as the economy was developing rapidly, airport planning needed tobe flexible and open to allow localities to actively call for investment indeveloping the infrastructure system.

The People’s Committee of the north central province of Thanh Hoa has submitted an official dispatch to the Ministry of Transport regarding the investment of the T2 passenger terminal and other infrastructure at the local Tho Xuan airport.
Public investment alone is insufficient to finance new airport infrastructure, exposing the need for more favourable policies to draw in private investment.
The renovation, expansion and construction of airports will create impetus for local socio-economic development through tourism, investment and business activities.
The construction of a new airport requires capital up to trillions of VND while the market demand also must be considered. The major financial requirements of such ventures suggest private participation in on the horizon.
