In parallel with the site clearance work, the Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee is finalizing the planning and mobilizing investment resources for the traffic route connecting Gia Binh International Airport with Hanoi Capital, as well as the main road to the airport. The goal is to build a synchronous and modern infrastructure system, ensuring the ability to connect and effectively exploit the airport when it comes into operation.
The Gia Binh International Airport Project is expected to become a strategic aviation gateway of the capital region, contributing to improving transportation capacity, attracting investment, promoting industry, tourism and service development of Bac Ninh in the coming period.

The expected design capacity is about 30 million passengers/year in the 2021-2030 period; the vision to 2050 has an expected capacity of about 50 million passengers/year.
The expected land area is about 1,960 hectares. The estimated investment cost according to the plan is about 120,839 billion VND in the 2021-2030 period, about 61,455 billion VND in the vision to 2050.
