Vinh City to open new ultra-modern terminal
(VOV) - Construction of a new VND800 billion passenger terminal that has been underway for more than eight months at the Vinh Airport is set to be inaugurated on January 31, marking an important milestone for the airport’s modernisation.
The terminal spans an area of 11,706 square metres and has been designed to handle a maximum capacity of 1,000 passengers per hour and in excess of 2 million per year, said Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Xuan Duong.
It was designed by architects from Singapore and the US to embody the most forward-thinking architectural style with an eye to making travel in Vietnam more glamorous and alluring, Duong added.
Nguyen Hong Ky, Nghe An Province Department of Transport director in turn said the project, constructed by the Airports Corporation of Vietnam, is part of the Prime Minister’s plan to revamp the nationwide network of international airports.
