Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang has backed a plan to build a new terminal at Danang International Airport as capacity nears its limit.
If the plan is approved the construction of the new international terminal will start in December or January.
The new terminal, which will cover 44,000 square metres and cost VND3,200 billion ($152 million), is expected to serve 4 million passengers a year.
Visitor numbers to Danang have been rising at 14% annually, with arrivals in 2014 reaching 5 million, up 16% compared with 2013, including 900,000 foreign visitors, up 53% against 2013.
The new terminal could be opened in June 2017.
