The Quang Tri Airport project (a level 4C facility, oriented capacity to serve 5 million passengers/year), invested by T&T Group and Cienco 4 consortium, has been started in July 2024 and is expected to complete phase 1 in July 2026. This first phase will include the construction of a 2,400-meter runway, a control tower, technical infrastructure systems, and a single-story passenger terminal, designed to accommodate 500,000 passengers per year. These elements are fundamental to ensuring the airport’s operational readiness and fulfilling its role as a major regional transportation hub.

The long-term development plan for Quang Tri Airport involves a series of upgrades that will transform it into “a comprehensive aviation, logistics, services, and commercial hub”. On April 27, 202, the T&T Group and Cienco 4 consortium have already proposed the early construction of a two-story passenger terminal to enhance the airport’s capacity ahead of schedule. Following the completion of the first phase, the airport will be upgraded to a level 4E facility by 2026. This will include extending the runway to 4,000 meters, allowing the airport to accommodate all types of aircraft without restrictions. The upgrade could also involve the construction of a second runway, contingent upon rising demand. Additionally, there will be comprehensive construction to ensure compliance with Code E aircraft operations, supporting a cargo capacity of 1.5 million tons per year.
