Vinh Airport is currently overloaded with a growing number of passengers, especially at peak times. The airfield has not got enough parking spaces and its runway with a length of 2.4km serves for small aircraft only with a maximum of six aircraft. There is also no parallel taxiway system, affecting the takeoff and landing times.
The People's Committee of Nghe An Province has previously approved the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) to be the investor for the expansion and renovation project of the apron at Vinh International Airport with a total capital of VND233.6 billion. The project will be implemented in 12 months.
