Earlier in June 2023, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha signed a decision to approve the national airport development planning for the 2021-2030 period and a vision until 2050. The planning includes the upgrade of Bien Hoa Airport and Thanh Son Airport in Ninh Thuan.

Once upgraded, Bien Hoa Airport’s annual capacity will reach 10 million passengers by 2050.
