The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam said about this information when proposing the Ministry of Transport to approve the investment policy of the project to renovate and upgrade runways, taxiways, and beacon system at Con Dao airport.
According to the Civil Aviation Administration, Con Dao airport currently has a runway 1,830m long, 30m wide, asphalt concrete pavement structure, only exploiting small aircraft such as ATR-72 and Embraer E195. This runway was built in 2004 and has reached the end of its operating life but has not yet shown any major damage, still ensuring safe operation.
Con Dao airport currently has 2 taxiways connecting the runway with the apron. Taxiway E1 is for military use only; taxiway E2 used for civil and military flight operations; there is a parking space for civil aviation aircraft of nearly 17,000m2, with 4 parking positions for aircraft ATR-72 or equivalent or less. Con Dao airport does not have a runway beacon system for night operation.
According to the Civil Aviation Administration, the demand of passengers to Con Dao by plane is great, but so far, only ATR-72 with 68 seats and Embraer E195 with a maximum of 124 seats have been exploit. Therefore, it is difficult to increase passengers to Con Dao without upgrading the airport infrastructure.
