NOI BAI EXPANSION AND MASTERPLAN
In 2006 the Vietnamese Government approved a $236m project to build a new terminal (T2) for Noi Bai Airport. The Civil Aviation Administration of Viet Nam (CAAV) will administer the project and maintain the correct international standards in conjunction with the ICAO (International Civil Aviation authority).
The project is now in the consultation phase with the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), which is discussing the Noi Bai Airport master plan and T2 passenger terminal feasibility study with CAAV and the Northern Airports Authority. Consensus so far is that the airport should be developed in several phases to cope with changing technology and market needs.
Currently, the airport can handle six million passengers annually. In the medium-phase the capacity should be expanded to 12 million passengers a year (2010), to be further increased to 20 million by 2020.
Noi Bai Airport has a capacity to handle a maximum of 50 million passengers a year and has area for an additional parallel runway in the south if required.
According to the JETRO study team, immediate development at the airport should focus on the construction of T2, which is to be an international four-storey terminal with a total floor area of 90,000m².
NOI BAI TERMINAL TWO
T2 has already been designed to provide high-quality services, smooth passenger flow, future scope for expansion, and enhanced security, guaranteeing commercial success. A senior architect of the JETRO study team said three designs for the terminal were under consideration, and would be finalised during the implementation stage.
T2 is expected to be completed in time for the 1,000th anniversary of Ha Noi City in October 2010. At this time the existing T1 terminal will be modified to become a domestic passenger terminal. The JETRO study team has also provided the modification plan for T1. The project is estimated to cost about ¥31bn ($297m) and be funded by Japanese Government ODA (Official Development Assistance). The project will also include aircraft parking zones, elevated roads and a multi-storey car park.
Actions underway include approval of the 'Noi Bai Airport master plan and T2 feasibility study', environmental impact assessment (EIA) and environmental clearance, land acquisition, applying for assistance from the Japanese Government, and conducting a feasibility study for the Airport Rail Link (ARL).
An ARL is necessary as the Thang Long Expressway would not be able to handle the increased traffic after 2010.

DANANG EXPANSION PROJECT
Vietnam is one of the world's fastest-growing economies, with increasing tourist arrivals attracting significant foreign investment.
With Danang International Airport crucial to the development of the central region of Vietnam, the government has unveiled plans to construct a new international terminal capable of handling six million passengers per year.
The feasibility study for the project, which was partially sponsored by the US Trade & Development Agency, was completed by PriceWaterhouseCoopers in 2006. The first phase of the project is estimated to cost US$75m and will initially increase passenger capacity to four million per year.
The project's completion date is set for 2010-2011 and will require a total investment of US$160m.
EXPANSION FUNDING
The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) and the Middle Airport Authority (MAA), which is responsible for managing the airport, obtained government funding approval for the terminal project in 2006.
About US$48m of the total investment for the first phase will be funded from the government budget and will be mainly spent on construction works.
The remaining US$27m is expected to come from local or foreign commercial banks and will be used to acquire necessary equipment for the new terminal.
The CAAV and MAA have also considered building a new runway at an estimated cost of US$32m, but financing for this project has not yet been established.
CONTRACTORS
In May 2006, the MAA hired an international consortium to provide design and consultancy for building the new terminal. MAA signed a US$2.57m deal with a joint venture between Louis Berger Group Inc of the US, Airport Consultants BV of the Netherlands and Vietnam-based National Construction Consultants Co.
The consortium design was completed by November 2006 and was submitted for approval. The expansion of the airport with the new terminal is due to begin construction in 2008.
