Phu Quoc airport planning adjusted to serve APEC 2027

Phu Quoc International Airport is planning adjustments to its infrastructure to accommodate the APEC 2027 event, according to a report by VnExpress International. The airport will see the addition or revision of several internal service roads to meet security, safety, and operational requirements. This includes the expansion of a parking area for ground service vehicles and equipment east of the VIP/general aviation terminal, as well as modifications to the taxiway system to ensure synchronization with the runways.

Additional parallel taxiways will be built between the two runways and north of Runway 2, and connecting and rapid-exit taxiways will be added to link the taxiway system with the apron areas. These changes aim to improve the airport's aircraft-handling capacity and remain unchanged through 2050. The airport will also develop new facilities, including a 7.2 ha aviation fuel supply facility, a 30.4 ha aircraft maintenance and repair hangar area, and a 51-ha hotel, commercial-service, and office complex.

The plan envisions a Level 9 emergency firefighting station, a firefighting training area, and bomb and mine disposal areas. The Ministry of Construction has assigned the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam to coordinate with the provincial People's Committee and relevant agencies to implement the plan in accordance with regulations.
