Da Nang International Airport's $379M expansion project to break ground in August 2027
A project worth more than VND9.9 trillion (US$379 million) to expand Terminal 1 (T1) of the Da Nang International Airport is scheduled to start construction in August 2027.
The Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) and Da Nang's municipal government have announced plans to commence construction on a $379 million expansion project at Da Nang International Airport in August 2027. The project includes the renovation and expansion of Terminal 1 (T1) and the first phase of an aircraft apron expansion.
The expanded terminal is expected to be completed and operational by January 2029, raising the airport's annual passenger capacity to 14 million, with 10 million domestic and 4 million international passengers. Key components of the T1 renovation include the elevation of the access road, construction of a technical building and multi-story car park with commercial services, traffic system, parking areas, landscaping, wastewater treatment and waste collection systems, and various utility infrastructure.
The first phase of the aircraft apron expansion will add six Code C aircraft parking positions. This expansion, along with the terminal upgrades, aims to improve the airport's capacity to serve aircraft, alleviate operational pressures during peak periods, and accommodate the growth of air transport.
ACV's acting general director, Nguyen Duc Hung, emphasized that these projects are a significant step in the comprehensive investment and upgrade of infrastructure at Da Nang International Airport. The goal is to meet increasing demand and enhance the airport's role as an international gateway for the city and the central region.
Da Nang's vice chairman, Le Quang Nam, highlighted the strategic importance of the airport as a transport hub connecting the city with domestic and international destinations, as well as the central and Central Highlands region. He stressed that upgrading and expanding airport infrastructure is a pressing need due to rising travel, tourism, and business demands. This investment will bolster the city's capacity to receive visitors and attract tourism, commerce, services, and investment.
