The airport area is small compared to the other two international airports in Vietnam. As of December 2011, a larger international terminal (T2, with a capacity of 16 million passengers per annum) has been planned for Hanoi, and loans for its construction have been secured, land compensation is under way.
It has a new 3,800-meter paved runway (CAT II - 11R/29L - Opened in August 2006) and an older 3,200-meter paved runway (CAT I -11L/29R)
The distance between the two runways is only 250 metres, so the airport has a maximum capacity of 10 million passengers a year in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organisation safety regulations.
