DA NANG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO BE INAUGURATED IN LATE MARCH
By March 29, Da Nang International Airport will be completed, welcoming the first flight and then operating on a trial basis from April to September 2017. Construction of a new terminal at Da Nang International Airport is scheduled to be completed to serve foreign passengers, especially delegates to meetings held within the framework of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Year 2017.
The construction of the terminal began in November 2015 with a total investment of VND3,504 billion on an area of 21,000 square meters.
The project comprises three main components: an international passenger terminal, an overpass and a parking area.
The 48,000 sq.m terminal has a designed capacity of 4 million passengers each year by 2025 and provides parking space for over 400 automobiles.
The new Da Nang International Airport is set up under Decision No 3066/QĐ-BGTVT approving the revised master plan of Da Nang International Airport up to 2020 with a vision towards 2030.

Việt Nam is intensifying efforts to sustain export momentum in the second half of 2026 as the country works towards its target of US$550 billion in export revenue for the year, despite continuing uncertainties in global trade.

ASIA POWERS VIETNAM’S SHRIMP BOOM, LEAVING THE WEST BEHIND
In the first half of 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports surpassed the US$2.3 billion mark, driven largely by booming demand from China and a lobster craze. But behind that growth figure lies a lopsided picture: Asia is carrying the load, while the U.S. and Europe have yet to break out.
