Aviation authorities want to close the airport on Con Dao Island for nine months from April next year for renovation and upgrades.

 

In a letter it sent recently to the Ministry of Transport, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) said the work would cost VND3.8 trillion ($167 million) and involve widening the runway from 30 to 45 meters, building a new taxiway and lengthening the three existing ones, according to Bao Giao Thong (Transport Newspaper) under the ministry.

 

The apron will be widened to park eight aircraft compared to the current four.
