14:40 04/03/2009

      The Phu Bai Airport in central Vietnam’s Thua Thien Hue province, 15 km from UNESCO-listed Hue city, is set to become the fourth international airport this year in the country, authorities said Sunday.

The provincial government said the Ministry of Transports recently instructed the National Civil Aviation Administration to carry out plans to upgrade the local airport into an international one.

Phu Bai would thus be the forth international air station besides the three: Ho Chi Minh City-based Tan Son Nhat Airport in the south, Hanoi-based Noi Bai Airport in the north, and Da Nang Airport in the namesake city in the central region.

Authorities in Hue are to release the timelines for the project at a later date, with Phu Bai targeting over one million passengers by 2010.
