Phu Bai International Airport targets 12 million passengers by 2050

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has submitted a master plan to the Ministry of Construction for the development of Phu Bai International Airport in Hue. The proposal outlines a phased expansion to increase capacity significantly over the coming decades.

For the 2021–2030 period, the airport is projected to reach a capacity of 4 million passengers and 5,000 tons of cargo annually. The facility will maintain its status as an international airport and will serve both civilian and military purposes. Under the 4E code standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the airport will feature 11 aircraft parking positions and accommodate large aircraft such as the Airbus A350, Boeing 787, and Boeing 777.

Looking toward 2050, the plan envisions expanding operational capacity to 12 million passengers and 24,000 tons of cargo per year. This long-term vision includes increasing aircraft parking positions to 27. The total land area proposed for the airport development is 514.28 hectares.
