Hanoi (VNA) – The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) hassubmitted to the Ministry of Transport a report on the adjustment of the planning scheme for the already overloaded Noi BaiInternational Airport which aims to double its capacity to welcome 63 millionpassengers a year by 2030.
According to the plan, the airport is projected to serve both civil and militarypurposes and capable of handling large long-haul aircraft such as B777-X, B747-8, B777-300ER and A380.
By 2030, the airport will have an estimated capacity of 63million passengers and two million tonnes of cargo per year. To this end,the CAAV has proposed building a third runway in the south of the airport. Theairport's existing terminal T2 will be expanded so that the combined capacityof terminals T1 and T2 will reach 30-40 million passengers per year, and a newterminal T3 with a capacity of 30 million passengers per year will be built tothe south.
By 2050, the CAAV estimates the airport to serve 100 millionpassengers and handle 5 million tonnes of cargo each year.
The airport's planning scheme will therefore be adjusted with theaddition of a fourth runway to the south as well as terminal T4 with anannual capacity of 25 million passengers at the site of the current terminal T1and a new terminal T5 with a capacity of 25 million passengers when the demand rises.
The airport's land use planning meanwhile will follow theapproved master plan for Hanoi, which allocates about 2,230 hectares to theairport to ensure enough land for national defence purposes.
The number of passengers and cargo passing through the NoiBai Airport has been increasing by an average of 10 percent per year, with theairport receiving nearly 26 million passengers in 2018 and about 29 millionpassengers in 2019.
However, the airport is only designed to handle 25 millionpassengers per year, with the domestic terminal T1 having a capacity of 15million and the international terminal T2 is servicing the remaining 10 millionpassengers per year./.
