Gia Binh Airport was started by the Ministry of Public Security in early December, with an area of ​​about 125 hectares, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. This will be a level 3 helicopter airport, level 3 military, and level 3C civil equivalent according to ICAO standards.

Gia Binh Airport has a model to serve the tasks of the Police Air Force Regiment, ensuring security combined with socio-economic development, similar to the model of Phan Thiet Airport.
