Van Phong International Airport is being researched and designed for the first phase of investment with a capacity of 1.5 million passengers/year (equivalent to 600 passengers/peak hour) according to ICAO level 4E design standards and level I military airport. The planned airport planning area is located entirely on coastal water, without residents, protective forests, mangrove forests, historical relics and no planning for boat anchorage or storm shelter.
Previously, Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee proposed 3 options for the construction of Van Phong International Airport and recommended a socialized investment model. In this latest document, Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee proposed an investment model for the construction of the airport according to option 3. According to option 3, the State will call on PPP investors to build airport facilities, civil aviation areas, and connecting traffic systems after the State hands over the cleared land.

Regarding the operation method, the State manages and exploits the works to ensure flight operations; PPP investors manage and exploit the works of the airport area and civil aviation area at Van Phong International Airport. The total investment in the first phase of construction is about 9,200 billion VND, of which the State budget is about 2,150 billion VND and the private sector investment capital is about 7,060 billion VND.
According to the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province, to ensure that the State capital invested from the budget is reasonable, feasible and effective according to the provisions of law, it is necessary to have specific mechanisms and policies for the project. After the Prime Minister has added the planning, the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province will call on domestic and foreign strategic investors to be interested in and participate in researching and investing in the construction of the Van Phong International Airport project under the PPP method.
