Quang Tri Airport (Vietnamese language: Sân bay Quảng Trị) is a military/civil planned to be constructed in the province of Quảng Trị, Vietnam, around 560 km south of Hanoi. The airport will be located in the commune of Gio Quang, Gio Linh District, 7 km north of the provincial capital Đông Hà. The master plan was signed by the chairman of the Quang Tri provincial people’s committee. The investment cost is estimated VND 374.787 billion (equivalent to US$ 27 million). The airport is expected to be operational from 2015. The airport will cover 290 hectares, 93 km south of Quang Binh Province’s Dong Hoi Airport and 88 km north Phu Bai International Airport by road (National Road 1A).
Famous quotes containing the word airport:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
