Lien Khuong International Airport, which serves the tourist city of Da Lat in the Central Highlands region, will close for six months for runway and taxiway upgrades, with an investment of over VND1.05 trillion (US$40.2 million).

A delegation from China Railway No. 2 Group has expressed interest in resuming the long-dormant Da Lat - Thap Cham railway line project and expanding international flights from Lien Khuong airport to several Asian countries.

The Ministry of Transport and the People’s Committee of the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong on June 23 held a ceremony to announce Lien Khuong airport as an international one, the first of its kind in the Central Highlands region.

Vietjet has announced that it will operate the first direct route connecting the resort city of Da Lat in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong with Busan, the largest coastal city of the Republic of Korea, in July.

All staff members working at four international airports of Tan Son Nhat, Cam Ranh, Can Tho and Lien Khuong, along with Vinh airport have tested negative for the SARS CoV-2 virus, according to the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV).
