Wenesday - 17/04/2013 12:42

Being invested with capital up to USD 219 million, the upcoming international terminal was expected to increase the total service capacity from 7 million to 15 million passengers per year by the time it would have come into operation at the end of 2006. However, this outstanding architecture was put into use one year later due to some objective reasons.

When the project had finally been completed, the entire old terminal would serve domestic customers only. The international terminal is located to the left of the domestic terminal. The total area of the airport is 92,000 m2.

The construction of the new international terminal is a part of a project funded by the Special Credit Fund of $ 219 million, which was signed by Japan and the Vietnamese government at the end of 2002. The project was implemented by a joint venture of four leading Japanese contractors, including Kajima, Taisei, Obayashi, Maeda, referred to as KTOM Joint Venture, and more than 30 domestic and foreign subcontractors.

Although the investment of the project is only equal to a modern passenger plane, it had been accomplished with the effort of thousands of people over three years. As a result, the new international terminal has closed the gap between global infrastructure and the Vietnamese one.
