Mr. Le Tien Phuong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Thuan said that the favorable geographical location and good socio-economic conditions create a huge advantages for the provincial development. However, the lack of airport and unfavorable roads is somewhat restricting the development of the province in recent years. When Phan Thiet Airport is completed, it will be an ideal condition for Binh Thuan to create a breakthrough in socio-economic development, security and defense. Traffic will create more favorable conditions for investors and tourists to Phan Thiet.

More importantly, the airport also serves the function of humanitarian relief work, national security and defense. This is the first airport construction project of BOT in Vietnam.
