To promote infrastructure investment projects at Chu Lai airport, the Provincial People's Committee has established a Working Group to handle documents, procedures and promote and call for social investment and exploitation of Chu Lai airport.

The "door" of goods
The implementation of the planning of the Duty Free Zone associated with Chu Lai airport is considered a premise for linking the development of Chu Lai airport and the Chu Lai port system (planned to develop into a type I port).
Currently, investors are interested in investing in and upgrading Chu Lai airport, building a new port system and access to Tam Hiep and Tam Hoa ports (500,000-ton ships), building urban areas... to synchronously develop the transportation system including aviation, maritime, port system, and logistics of Chu Lai Open Economic Zone. Thus, the duty-free zone is considered the "gateway" for goods coming and going from Chu Lai.
According to the construction zoning plan of the Duty Free Zone associated with Chu Lai Airport, which is chaired by the Management Board of Economic Zones and Industrial Parks of Quang Nam Province, the planning area is located in Nui Thanh Town, Tam Quang Commune and Tam Nghia Commune (Nui Thanh District); the East borders Chu Lai Airport; the planning scale is 223.26 hectares.
The duty-free zone includes export processing zones, export processing enterprises, bonded zones, bonded warehouses, special economic and commercial zones, and commercial and industrial zones. The buildings in the duty-free zone have modern architecture, creating an attractive destination and stopover point for Chu Lai International Airport...
According to Mr. Nguyen Hong Quang - Head of the Provincial Economic Zones and Industrial Zones Management Board, the draft planning of the Duty Free Zone associated with Chu Lai Airport with the nature of planning as a complex area of production, processing, commercial activities, and multi-functional logistics services will certainly contribute to attracting and retaining tourists, while solving jobs and increasing income for local workers.
This area is a place with preferential income tax for domestic and foreign people who directly work and do business. When invested in construction and put into operation, the duty-free zone will exploit the potential and advantages to promote Chu Lai Open Economic Zone to develop according to the plan and contribute to the socio-economic development of the province in the coming years.
Commenting on the draft zoning plan for the construction of the duty-free zone associated with Chu Lai airport, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province Le Tri Thanh said that "don't forget" to link the functions and zoning of the duty-free zone with Chu Lai airport, especially trade and service activities, import and export... when Chu Lai airport is identified as the international cargo transit center.
It is necessary to determine what industry is being processed here, of course, an industry with a high intellectual content. In addition, it is necessary to determine the relationship of this tariff zone with other tariff zones, even with Dung Quat; the relationship with outside industrial zones, such as Truong Hai...
