Đà Nẵng Airport rated Five Stars to Skytrax Standards
The first airport in Viet Nam have Stars to Skytrax Standards
Đà Nẵng International Airport has become the first and the only terminal in Việt Nam to be certified as a 5-star airport by international airport rating agency Skytrax, according to Đỗ Trọng Hậu, Deputy General Director of the Đà Nẵng International Terminal Investment and Operation Joint Stock Company (AHT).
It came nine months after the Đà Nẵng City-based airport receiving a 4-star rating from Skytrax thanks to its efforts in improving facilities and services to enhance passenger experience.
By the end of last year, there were only 19 airports and three airport terminals in the world rated 5 stars by Skytrax.
Amenities highly appreciated by Skytrax include business class lounges, baby strollers, children’s play areas, shopping carts, prayer rooms, self-baggage drop and automatic check-in counters.
Đà Nẵng International Airport’s Terminal T2 became the first in Southeast Asia to receive the Welcome Chinese certification in December 2023.
The terminal has been awarded a Gold ranking, which is the highest among the three grades – Silk, Jade, Gold of the Welcome Chinese certificate issued by the Beijing-based research organisation China Tourism Academy under the China National Tourism Administration. Italy has four airports certified “Welcome Chinese” while France, Russia, Spain, and Saudi Arabia have one airport certified each. — VNS
Plan for improvements to take place at Đà Nẵng airport
The projects include developing a cargo terminal, developing infrastructure in the northern area of the airport, and expanding Terminal 1.
The cargo terminal will be built on a land area of 28,745 square metres, with a capacity to handle 100,000 tonnes of cargo per year.
The cost of the project was initially estimated at VNĐ350 billion (US$13.8 million), which will be funded by the Airports Corporation of Việt Nam (ACV). However, a proposal was made to raise the capital to VNĐ600 billion ($23.6 million) to ensure the terminal achieve its projected capacity.
Construction is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025. The terminal is expected to be completed and begin operations in the third quarter of 2026.
As part of the project to develop the northern area of the airport, two transport routes – T1A and T2A – are being planned.
T1A will run in the middle of the planned area. T2A will run along the east side of the area and connects the northern aircraft parking lot with the cargo terminal. A system of rainwater drainage, water supply, lighting, and general power supply will also be developed.
The project was started on November 11 and is due to be completed in mid-April 2025.
The expansion of Terminal 1 will increase its capacity to serve 10 million passengers per year, which will raise the total capacity of both Terminals 1 and 2 to 14 million passengers annually.
The expansion will be carried out from 2026 to 2028.
Nine other projects improving the airport’s infrastructure were started this year with a total cost of VNĐ110 billion ($4.3 million), said director Phan Kiều Hưng. — VNS
