According to the consulting unit, Ninh Binh airport has a large service area. The project is expected to welcome about 4.5 million passengers by 2030 and reach 10 million by 2050. The project not only contributes to the economic and tourism development but also has significance in ensuring national defense and security in the region.
Mr. Pham Quang Ngoc – Chairman of Ninh Binh Provincial People’s Committee said that the investment project to build an international airport in Ninh Binh is one of the key infrastructure orientations, associated with the master plan of the national airport system for the period 2021 – 2030, with a vision to 2050.
According to the proposal and recommendation report to the Ministry of Construction, the province plans to locate Ninh Binh international airport in Liem Tuyen ward, with a convenient distance to important traffic hubs in the region.
The planned scale of the airport is to meet the 4E standard according to the classification of the International Civil Aviation Organization, with 2 parallel runways. The total planned area is about 720 hectares.
The initial design capacity is about 10 million passengers/year; there is land reserve for expansion to meet development needs in the next stages.
The establishment of an international airport in Ninh Binh will contribute to promoting regional and inter-regional connectivity, effectively exploiting the potential of heritage, cultural and spiritual tourism, creating more job and livelihood opportunities for local people.
