The new terminal will be located adjacent to the existing terminal which went into operation in 2011 with annual capacity of six million passengers. In 2014, the terminal served five million passengers and is expected to reach capacity at the end of this year.
The Ministry of Transport said construction of the new international terminal was urgent.
The new terminal will cover 40,000 square metres and have 40 check-in counters and nine gates. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2016 and will be completed by June 2017 in time for the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum to be held in Danang City that year.
