Come September 2013, travelers to
Vietnam ’s former imperial
city can once again touchdown and take off from the Phu
Bai International
Airport outside of Hue .
The airport closed its doors on
20 March for runway repairs and upgrades, estimated between 500 and 600 billion
Vietnam Dong.
Located 15 kilometers from the
city centre, Phu Bai
Airport is the main gateway to Hue , Vietnam
“Restoring direct access to Hue is a crucial step in
enticing visitors and boosting the city’s profile,” said Phan Trong Minh,
general manager at the five-star La Residence Hotel & Spa. “Now that
logistical issues are out of the way, Hue can
reclaim its place as one of Vietnam ’s
most alluring -- and accessible -- destinations.”
Vietnam Airlines is expected to
resume operations to Hue with three daily return
flights from Ho Chi Minh, and two daily return flights from Hanoi .
The improvements on the Phu Bai International Airport
are part of the government’s plans to develop Hue
and Vietnam ’s
central coast as key tourism destinations. Six months were spent upgrading the
airport’s runway to allow it to receive larger aircraft. Once operational, the
airport will be able to accommodate five million passengers per year.
