Hanoi's second airport will be for domestic flights only, according to Vietnam's airport development master plan for 2021-2050.
Noi Bai International Airport’s domestic flight volume has been growing rapidly, 40 per cent higher than the peak time of summer in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Expected to be completed in 20 months and operational in 2022, the 543-hectare airport in the beach town Phan Thiet will serve both the airforce and civil aviation.
