The southcentral province of Khanh Hoa is expected to inaugurate Cam Ranh International Airport on December 12, 2009, opening up new opportunities for the province to develop its economy and tourism.
The airport is located 30km from the coastal city of Nha Trang.
In 2007, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung approved a zoning plan for construction of the airport until 2020 with a vision toward 2030. Accordingly, the airport will be able to receive planes such as ATR72, A320, A321 and B747F. It will also be expanded to provide 32 parking lots, receive as many as 27 aeroplanes during peak hours, welcome some 5.5 million passengers annually and handle 100,000 tonnes of cargo per year. |
