As per the ACV, the airport, which processed almost a million travelers in the first half of this year, is exhibiting indications of decline.
Chairman Ho Van Muoi of Lam Dong Province requested a postponement because the project would have overlapped with the development of several major transportation infrastructure initiatives in the province, possibly increasing disturbances to tourism and the local economy.
The airport, located 28 km from Da Lat, was constructed by the French in 1933 and modernized by the Americans in 1956 during their presence in Vietnam.
The airport currently accommodates approximately 2.5 million travelers annually, primarily consisting of domestic passengers along with visitors from South Korea and Thailand.
The enhancement strategy aims for the airport to meet 4E specifications by 2030, enabling it to accommodate large aircraft like the Airbus A350 and manage five million travelers along with 20,000 tons of freight annually.
Following 2030, the runway will be expanded to 3,600 meters in length, and the terminal’s capacity will be raised to accommodate seven million travelers.
