Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung opened the new year by cutting the ribbon on the new Can Tho International Airport in Can Tho City.
Upgraded from a small regional airstrip over a series of construction phases, the US$150 million airport will serve the Cuu Long (Mekong) delta by accommodating up to five million passengers a year.
New runways mean the airport can handle long-haul aircraft such as the Boeing 747 and 777.
As reported by the Vietnam News, the January 1 ceremony made Can Tho the fourth international airport in the country, joining airports in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang.
