The plan is made based on a
robust socio-economic outlook with GDP growth forecast at 6.6-6.8 percent as
well as a bright prospect on Vietnamese transportation market expansion.
The Airports Council International (ACI) forecasts the Vietnamese aviation
transportation to top the group of markets with more than 50 million passengers

(IATA) predicts Vietnam as the world’s 5th fastest growing aviation market,
which will transport 150 million passengers by 2035, a representative from the
ACV said.
In 2019, the ACV will continue boosting investments and upgrades in airport
infrastructure, and mobilising resources for construction and development of
strategic airports like Long Thanh International Airport in southern Dong Nai
province. Furthermore, due attention will be paid to IT application into
airport management and operation in line with international standards.
Expansion of aprons will be made at busy airports like Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat,
Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Lien Khuong, Cat Bi, Vinh and Phu Bai.
The ACV is making preparation for its key projects, including construction of
Terminal 3 at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, new terminals at Da Nang and
Cam Ranh International Airports, expansion of Terminal 2 at Noi Bai
International Airport, and Terminal 2 at Cat Bi, Vinh, Phu Bai, Dong Hoi and
Tho Xuan International Airports.
According to the corporation’s report, the ACV’s revenue in 2018 was estimated
at 17.84 trillion VND (768.27 million USD), surpassing the set plan by 11 percent,
and rising 18 percent against 2017.

airlines from 25 countries and territories and the four local carriers Vietnam
Airlines, Vietjet Air, Jetstar Pacific Airlines and Vasco.
