According to the Chairman of Quang Nam province, the project to socialize Chu Lai airport has been submitted by the province to the Ministry of Transport . After the mechanism for investing in the development of the national airport system in the form of socialization is available, Chu Lai airport will be invested in a suitable form.
From Quang Nam's perspective, there are two investment options.
Firstly, ACV will cooperate with capable private enterprises to invest in development. There will be only one operator for Chu Lai airport, including the area west of Chu Lai airport and the new development area east of the airport.
Option 2 is to have two operators. The west side of the airport will continue to be operated by ACV. Invite a second operator to invest in the east side of Chu Lai airport according to the plan.
“That is the province’s viewpoint, but the decision must wait for the opinion of the superiors. There is no place in the country that has two international airports close to each other, namely Da Nang International Airport and Chu Lai Airport. This is an extremely favorable condition and foundation for local development,” Mr. Le Tri Thanh affirmed.
According to the Quang Nam Provincial Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050 approved by the Prime Minister, Chu Lai International Airport is invested in construction with a scale of 4F airport.
Chu Lai International Airport will become an international aviation industry and service center with passenger and cargo transportation, aviation logistics, and a flight training and coaching center.
At the same time, this airport will be a center for repairing and maintaining aircraft, manufacturing aviation components; connecting with duty-free zones and high-tech industrial zones, forming a center for manufacturing, processing, and exporting high-tech, high-value products by air.
According to the Master Plan for the development of the national airport system for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, Chu Lai will become an international airport.
