In a proposal sent recently to relevant agencies, ACV suggested that the new terminal, T2, will cover a total area of about 20.92 ha and be designed to cater to 3 million passengers a year.
The project will have a total investment of VND1,200 billion (US$52 million) from ACV’s capital.
An official from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) said the existing terminal has a designed capacity of 500,000 passengers annually but catered to 534,856 passengers in 2018 and 539,908 in 2019.
The figure stood at 487,746 passengers last year despite impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since overloading has affected service quality and safety, it is necessary to build a new terminal to meet current and future demand, the CAAV official noted.
