Da Nang begins construction of new international passenger terminal.

On the morning of November 15th, the Ministry of Transport and the People's Committee of Da Nang City held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the international passenger terminal at Da Nang International Airport.

The project "Construction of the International Passenger Terminal at Da Nang International Airport" has a total investment of over 3,500 billion VND and is invested by Da Nang International Terminal Investment and Exploitation Joint Stock Company (AHT).

Delegates pressed the button to officially launch the "Construction Project of the International Passenger Terminal at Da Nang International Airport".

The terminal is built on a 21,000 m2 site, with a linear design similar to the existing terminal. It comprises two separate levels for departures and arrivals, 40 airline check-in counters, 42 immigration counters, and 10 boarding gates, including 4 jet bridges and 6 bus-based gates.

The elevated road section will ensure 2 lanes for traffic and 1 lane for stopping, and the parking lot and internal port traffic will provide nearly 440 parking spaces. It is expected that the completed terminal will have a capacity of 4 to 6 million passengers per year, serving 1,600 passengers per hour during peak times. After the new terminal is completed, the current terminal will become the domestic terminal.
