In Vietnam, the firm has involved in developing Can Tho, Phu Quoc, and Ban Me Thuot airports, and most recently Van Don International Airport in Quang Ninh.
The Quang Tri Aiport will be built at an estimated cost of more than 5.7 trillion VND (244.64 million USD) for both civil and military aviation purposes.
The airport is planned to cover 312ha in Quang Tri’s Gio Quang Commune, Gio Linh District, about 7km from Dong Ha City.
The plan aims to create runways large enough to accommodate A320 and A321 aircraft and their equivalents.
The passenger terminal is planned to serve up to one million passengers per year, with reserve land set aside for future expansion.
