After its temporary closure, the airport will be capable of receiving mid-size aircraft like Airbus A321 and affording three boarding gates in peak hours.
Under a plan approved by the Government, the Phu Bai airport will be further upgraded to handle 20 airplanes in peak hours and five million passengers a year by 2020.
The re-operation of the airport is good news for the province as it is preparing for the 20 th anniversary of the recognition of the Hue ancient imperial relics as a World Cultural Heritage site on September 21.
