The central province of Quang Binh submitted a document to the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI), the Ministry of Transport (MoT), and the Commission for Management of State Capital at Enterprises to seek approval to expand the airport with an investment worth VND2 trillion ($84.6 million).

Dong Hoi Airport plays an important role in delivering passengers and goods in the northern central region, Vung Ang Economic Zone, and surrounding areas. However, the current capacity of the airport is below demand and insufficient for the region's socioeconomic development potential.

Quang Binh People's Committee is seeking advice and opinion from the MoT for the province's implementation plans, and from the MPI about the feasibility of the investment timetable, in order to be granted approval in principle on the project.

Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) is the main investor in the project, and the company hopes that the MoT and the commission can reach a compromise to allow it to organise the design competition for the expanded project.

ACV has plans to start construction of the T2 terminal and expansion of the aircraft car park in the third quarter of 2024 with completion of these two sub-projects expected by the first quarter of 2026.

Under the prime minister's recently approved national master plan on airport development, the projected annual capacity of Dong Hoi Airport is three million passengers by 2030 and five million by 2050.
