.Former Kamran naval base airport to serve international flights.

HANOI, July 29 (Itar-Tass) -- The airport of Russia's former naval
base Kamran in central Vietnam will serve international flights. The
Vietnam Airlines Company will operate its first international flight to
Kamran from Seoul, local media said.
Russian air companies may start new regular flights to connect Central
Vietnam with Russia's Far East and Moscow.
The Kamran airport in Russia's former naval base became a commercial
airport in May 2004. Five years later, as a new passenger terminal was
constructed in 2009, the airport got a status of an international one.
The new international air hub will give a strong impetus to the social
and economic development of the region and will attract foreign tourists
who come to enjoy sea resorts there.
Russia's Navy left Kamran back in May 2002. Vietnam announced that the
Kamran Bay will no longer remain a military base, though both China and
the USA had requested to rent it. Hanoi made a decision to transfer the
"major citadel of socialism in Asia" of the "cold war" times into a
tourist centre will most moderns infrastructures, and managed to do so
quite quickly. The only object that keeps the memories of the base is the
monument to Russian and Vietnamese military that died for peace and
stability in the region.
