“With the rise within the variety of tourists visiting the country and the expansion of the operations of the national carrier Vietnam Airlines, the federal government accelerated the development of a brand new airport called Long Thanh International,” reads the CNN Travel report.
The airport, which has an estimated total investment capital of VND336.63 trillion ($16.03 billion), shall be inbuilt three phases over three many years.
Completion of the primary part is scheduled for 2025, when the brand new airport will have the option to serve 25 million passengers a yr. The next two phases will last from 2030 to 2035 and from 2040 to 2050.
Once accomplished, Long Thanh, which is predicted to cover 5,000 hectares (12,400 acres), will replace Tan Son Nhat as Vietnam’s largest airport. The recent airport would have an annual capability of 100 million passengers and five million tons of cargo.
Other exciting airports on CNN Travel’s list include Istanbul New Airport in Turkey, Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai, Changi Airport in Singapore, La Guardia Airport in New York and Daxing International Airport in Beijing.
