PM stresses importance of another airport in Red River Delta
(VOVWORLD) -As the Red River Delta has only one big airport in Hanoi, a dual-use airport is much needed to serve national security and defense as well as socio-economic development and ease the load on Noi Bai airport, said PM Pham Minh Chinh at a meeting in Hanoi on Sunday to discuss building a new airport in Bac Ninh province and a new road to connect it with Hanoi.

The Prime Minister stressed the need to plan Gia Binh airport as an international level 4E airport, and to begin phase 2 of the project while phase 1 is still underway to save time, effort, and resources. He called for connecting Gia Binh airport with Hanoi in the fastest, most direct way, and said the road must be completed in two years at the latest. PM Chinh also called for a modern, smart logistics area to be built at the airport to optimize land use for e-commerce development and ensure a green, clean, beautiful environment.
