The Hanoi Department of Planning and Architecture (QHKT) has just requested the Hanoi People’s Committee to assign the Department of Transportation (MOT) to closely coordinate with relevant departments and agencies and the Transportation Design Consulting Corporation. (TEDI) draws up a preliminary city document requesting the Ministry of Transportation to consider a second airport arrangement for the Hanoi metropolitan area and consider selecting a location in the southern Hanoi area (in addition to expanding and increasing the capacity of the international airport from Noi Bai to 100 million passengers / year).
According to the Department of Planning and Economic Affairs, at present, the master plan for the development of the airport and airport system at the national level for the period 2021 – 2030 with a vision of 2050 is being implemented by the Ministry of Transport in accordance with the tasks approved by the Prime Minister. in Decision No. 336 / QD-TTg of March 4, 2020. In particular, there is a requirement to evaluate the expansion of airports, especially the existing large airports such as Noi Bai, Cat Bi, Da Nang, Long Thanh … to have a backup orientation. land for development (adding runways, service works) or researching and adding new airports and airports.
In the Hanoi Capital Region Construction Plan until 2020 and vision for 2050 approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 490 / QD-TTg of August 5, 2008, the second scheduled airport in the region (South of Hanoi) will be located in the Ung Hoa district (Hanoi). According to the project to adapt the construction planning of the Capital Region until 2030 and a vision for 2050, approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 768 / QD-TTg of May 6, 2016, description of the content The project has studied 4 options, including: the airport in the Ly Nhan district area (Ha Nam province), 60-65 km from the center of Hanoi; the airport in the Ung Hoa district (Hanoi), about 35-40 km from the center of Hanoi; airports in Thanh Mien and Binh Giang districts (Hai Duong province), about 45-50 km from central Hanoi; airport in the Tien Lang (Hai Phong) district, about 120 km from the center of Hanoi. Thus, in previous studies, there was a plan to organize a second airport for the Capital Region in the southern part of Hanoi.
According to Mr. Nguyen Truc Anh, Director of Hanoi Department of Planning and Economic Affairs, the above location has a reasonable distance and time to get to the center of Hanoi, similar to Long Thanh Airport to HCMC. Convenient traffic connection via the Phap Van – Cau Gie Highway, the existing National Highway 1A and adjacent to the South Spine (under construction); At the same time, the Northwest Expressway – National Highway 5B (connecting Ho Chi Minh Road and National Highway 5B), the main roads of the city of Hanoi (Do Xa – Quan Son street, North – South axis, Ngoc Street) will be added. Hoi-Phu Xuyen).

In addition, the planned location also has access to all three types of transport: road, waterway (Van Diem port on the Red River) and rail (Hanoi route – HCMC, long-term). connecting with the North-South high-speed rail). In particular, suitable for cleaning the site, the development of a land fund, capable of organizing an airport with an area of about 1300 ha (similar to the size of Noi Bai airport with a capacity of 50 million passengers / year) , in which mainly agricultural land, few residential areas.
“By opening an airport, if you have no experience, you will immediately cause unsafe air conflicts. The airspace cannot be divided, it must be united, if there is a conflict the airspace will be very dangerous.
Dr. Tran Quang Chau
The Hanoi Department of Planning and Economic Affairs noted a drawback that the proposed airport area has a cut off of the 500 kV Thuong Tin line to Nho Quan.
You will need to consider many factors
Talk to PV Yourmen PhongDr. Tran Quang Chau, president of the Vietnam Aviation Science and Technology Association, said that with the current speed of aviation development, it is right to organize an additional airport for the capital. But where to locate the airport and how to do it is a very big problem, it needs to be carefully studied and investigated. According to Dr. Chau, an airport needs to solve problems such as altitude above sea level, travel diagram, socioeconomic image of the entire airport area (income, population)… “There are around 27 criteria for an airport, including 17 official criteria. Furthermore, there are 10 indicators to score, whatever priority is chosen, ”he said.
The expert said that all four options are being considered, and the new airport located in Ha Nam, Hanoi, Hai Duong and Hai Phong are not the last 4 options, because the problem can be raised with the military. Can the plan for Mieu Mon Airport and Hoa Lac Airport be used or not? How is the expansion of the military airport available? How to plan the airspace to avoid conflicts? All of them can be taken into consideration, then subjected to meticulous investigation plans, but they cannot be judged.
According to Dr. Chau, it is necessary to establish an evaluation board, including experts, the Association of Architects, the Department of Civil Aviation and military aviation to find a reasonable location at the airport. “By opening an airport, if you have no experience, you will immediately cause unsafe air conflicts. The airspace cannot be divided, it must be united, if there is a conflict, the airspace will be very dangerous ”, emphasized Dr. Tran Quang Chau.
Mr. Luu Quang Huy, Director of the Hanoi Construction Planning Institute, said: “This is only a proposal from the Hanoi Planning and Technology Department, whether the choice depends on the decision of the Prime Minister or not.” . According to Mr. Huy, in the world there are many big cities with 3-4 airports in the world. The second airport distribution plan in the southern area of Hanoi has convenient traffic connections, access to the center with a reasonable distance. In addition, the airport will help the southern area of Hanoi to develop strongly in the economy of the region, the activities around the airport will greatly improve people’s lives, creating a new driving force for the development of the capital.
Associate Professor Tran Trong Hanh, former rector of the Hanoi University of Architecture, said that the northern and southern regions of Hanoi are low-lying areas, which is not sure whether the second international airport is located here. “A comprehensive and comprehensive assessment of this issue is needed,” Hanh said.
