The Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV)'s Da Nang branch said the expanded construction area will add more than 42,000 sq.m to create 96,000 sq.m of standard floor area for the domestic and international passenger service zones.
This expanded area will include key infrastructure, such as a high-storey parking section, wastewater treatment, a flyover bridge, inner traffic routes and a mechanical and electrical zone, turning the airport into a smart international logistics center in Vietnam and Asia, ACV Da Nang said.

The 12.2-ha T1, which was built at a cost of VND1.34 trillion (US$51 million), has been overloaded since its inauguration in 2011. With the new planned area, increasing demand for passenger and cargo services will be met within the next few years.
According to ACV Da Nang, a fund of more than VND9.9 trillion ($377 million) will be used for developing the expanded area at T1 from the third quarter of 2027 to the first quarter of 2029.
