At the conference presenting the feasibility study for the Ninh Binh International Airport, delegates showed strong consensus in favor of the project’s research and implementation.

Addressing the conference, Mr. Pham Quang Ngoc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Ninh Binh Provincial People’s Committee, emphasized the province’s unwavering commitment to planning and constructing the airport. This ensures alignment with the Ninh Binh Provincial Master Plan and the National Airport Development Plan for 2021–2030, with a vision to 2050.
The Chairman directed the consulting unit to incorporate feedback, ensuring the proposal includes all necessary legal, technical, and political justifications. He stressed the airport’s importance not only for Ninh Binh’s socio-economic growth but also for the broader development of the southern Red River Delta region.
Regarding the site selection, he called for thorough analysis and comparison of potential locations, considering factors like advantages, catchment areas, long-term infrastructure and urban development, and accessibility to Hanoi. Consultation with central ministries is also required.
The Chairman tasked relevant departments with closely collaborating with the consulting unit to finalize the proposal promptly for submission to the Provincial People’s Committee and subsequent review by the Provincial Party Committee.
