Can Tho airport to operate in December
Hanoi (VNA) - Can Tho airport will come into operation this December, 6 months earlier than expected, according to the Southern Airports Corporation.
Can Tho airport is built on former Tra Noc airport with an expanded area
of 400 ha. Almost all the construction items of the 520 billion VND (31
million USD) project, including an upgraded 2,400m runway, have been
basically completed.
Early flights will bridge Can Tho and some southern airports, including
Tan Son Nhat, Rach Gia and Ca Mau, the Corporation said.
It also plans to lengthen the runway by 600 metres for the airport to
receive B767, B777 and similar airplanes.
In March 2008, the Southern Airports Authority began a 1,000 billion VND
(60 million USD) project to construct a terminal that can serve 2 million
passengers per year. International flights from and to the terminal are
planned for 2010.-Enditem
