The USD 62,56- million project will include lengthening and rehabilitation of the runway, the installation of new navigational aids, and enlargement of the passenger terminal. About USD 44 million will be used for the maintenance and rehabilitation of the runway and to extend it by 615 meters (2,000 feet). This will enable the airport to receive heavier and larger aircraft such as the Airbus 330. It will open the airport not only to flights to and from neighbouring countries but also to countries as far away as Peru. The project will be completed in February 2020 and is part of a larger program to upgrade the nation’s airports (see next article below).

CHAPTER 3 POTENTIAL ECONOMIC CORRIDORS BETWEEN VIETNAM AND LAO PDR: ROLES PLAYED BY VIETNAM Nguyen Binh Giang INTRODUCTION The Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge over the Mekong River officially opened on November 11, 2011, facilitating cross-border trade along Asian Highway (AH) 15 (Route No. 8) and AH 131 (Route No. 12) between northeast Thailand, central Lao PDR and North Central Vietnam. Since the establishment of the East-West Economic Corridor (EWEC) which is based on AH 16 (Route No. 9), the cross-border trade among countries in the Greater Mekong Sub-region has been much facilitated. The success of EWEC encourages local governments in the region to establish other economic corridors. Currently, it seems that there are ambitions to establish parallel corridors with EWEC. The basic criteria for these corridors is the connectivity of the Thailand-Lao PDR or Lao PDR-Vietnam border gates, major cities in northeast Thailand, south and central Lao PDR, and North Central and Middle Central Vietnam, and ports in Vietnam by utilizing some existing Asian Highways (AHs) or national highways.
