The T1 passenger terminal renovation and expansion project, funded by ACV, has a total investment exceeding 9,930 billion VND. The design includes adding approximately 96,000 square meters of floor area on a total land area of over 165,000 square meters. This aims to increase the service capacity to 14 million passengers per year, comprising 10 million domestic and 4 million international passengers.

The project also includes developing integrated components such as an elevated road, a technical building, a multi-story parking garage combined with commercial facilities, a wastewater treatment system, waste collection, and internal traffic infrastructure. Construction is scheduled to commence in 8/2027. The expanded section is expected to be operational from 1/2029, with the entire renovation of the existing structure completed by 8/2029.

Alongside the terminal upgrade, the phase one aircraft parking apron expansion project, with a total capital exceeding 170 billion VND, will add 6 code C aircraft parking positions. This component is expected to commence construction in 12/2026 and be completed in 7/2027.

Le Quang Nam, Vice Chairman of Da Nang City People's Committee, emphasized the importance of the airport: "Da Nang international airport plays a crucial role in connecting the city with domestic and international hubs. Upgrading airport infrastructure is an urgent requirement, creating a foundation for Da Nang to maintain its role as the leading aviation gateway of the Central and Central Highlands regions."

During the ceremony, the city also launched a flight information lookup service on the Danang Smart City application. This utility connects directly with the airport's operational database (AODB), helping passengers look up flight schedules on a unified smart city platform.

Previously, on 19/5, ACV commenced construction of the T2 international passenger terminal expansion project at Da Nang airport. This project, with a total investment of nearly 1,500 billion VND, will increase the terminal's capacity to 6 million passengers per year.
