The People’s Committee of the southernmost province of Ca Mau has submitted a document to relevant agencies proposing an upgrade of Ca Mau airport during 2021-2025. According to the provincial People’s Committee, the airport, which is located at the centre of the Ca Mau peninsula, plays a crucial role in promoting socio-economic and tourism development and ensuring security-defence not only in the province but also the Mekong Delta region and the country as well. Under Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s Decision 236/QD-TTg approving adjustments to air transportation development planning to 2020, with a vision to 2030, Ca Mau Airport was designated to be a 3C airport by 2020, capable of receiving 300,000 passengers a year, and a 2-level military facility. By 2030, it will become a 4-C airport with a capacity of 1 million passengers. VNA Photo : Huỳnh Anh
