The central province of Thua Thien Hue is planning to upgrade the Phu Bai International Airport, located in Huong Thuy town, aiming to raise its passenger-serving capacity to 3-3.5 million annually by 2020, and 6.5-7 million annually by 2025.

Phu Bai
International Airport is currently capable of handling
only 1.5 million passengers per year.
Accordingly,
the upgrade work will cost approximately VND5.56 trillion (US$244.64 million),
with a focus on expanding the categories of terminals, runways, aprons, and
other infrastructure.
The area of land requiring clearance in service of the
airport expansion project will be more than 153 hectares, including 24.44
hectares in Phu Bai ward, nearly 20.8 hectares in Thuy Phu commune, and over
108 hectares in Thuy Tan commune.
Phu Bai International Airport is currently capable of handling only 1.5 million passengers
per year and is always overloaded.
In 2017, the number of passengers served by the airport
reached 1.75 million, posting an annual average passenger growth rate of 15%.
Phu Bai International
Airport holds a significant position in the economic
and socio-cultural development strategy of Thua Thien Hue province and the
North Central region as a whole. It serves as a bridge connecting the regions
across the country and around the world, playing a crucial role in bringing the
tourism potential of the province and the Central region into full play.
