The Ministry of Transport has officially approved a plan to build a civil and military airport in the Mekong Delta Province of An Giang, the An Giang Province People’s Committee and Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) confirmed Thursday.
Under the plan, the airport will be built on a total area of 235 ha in Can Dang
Commune, Chau Thanh District and cost about VND3.4 trillion (US$170 million).
The approval came despite a public concern that such an airport is unnecessary.
Vuong Binh Thanh, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, however said the airport would help boost the local tourism industry.
Of all Mekong Delta Provinces, An Giang receives the highest number of tourists every year and is attracting foreign investments in its economic zones, Thanh said. These visitors and investors will want to fly to An Giang and thus the airport is necessary, he said.
