Hanoi (VNA)🌠 – The Airport Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) has begun expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport, given the recent unexpected increase in arrivals.
With that, it is expected to accommodate five million visitors annually.
“At this point, Phu Quoc International Airport is in need of development. The forecast of 2020 shows that the number of visitors to the airport could be some 2.5-3 million, so a comprehensive extension is necessary,” said Huynh Quang Hung, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Phu Quoc district, in southern Kien Giang province.
The airport initiated its second phase in April 2015, with a total investment of more than 2 trillion VND (89.4 million USD), for all categories, including runway, hangar, passenger terminal and outdoor parking.
On average, the airport daily serves 42 flights both arrivals and departures.
In the past nine months of this year, it served 1.6 million visitors to Phu Quoc, a surge of 47.18 percent compared with the same period last year.
Hung also noted that the total land area provided to the airport to date and in use since 2002 was 905 ha, helping the airport to serve the increasing number of visitors.
