Phu Bai to become international airport

Phu Bai airport in the central province Thua Thien-Hue will be upgraded into an international airport in the period of 2009-2020 with a vision for 2030.

The upgrade is estimated to cost VND17,250 billion, of which one third will be invested between now and 2020.
