Lien Khuong International Airport to close in March 2026 for runway upgrades
Under a national aviation plan, Lien Khuong is set to reach 4E classification by 2030, allowing it to serve wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350.
Lien Khuong International Airport, the primary air gateway to Da Lat and the Central Highlands region, will temporarily close in March 2026 for a major runway and infrastructure upgrade.
The six-month closure, originally planned for November 2025, was delayed to avoid overlapping with key transport projects currently under construction in Lam Dong province. The 1.045 trillion VND (40.2 million USD) upgrade will include extending the runway to 3,250m in length and 45m in width, constructing a turning pad, and upgrading taxiways, braking zones, drainage systems, and aviation lighting and signage.
Liên Khương International Airport is scheduled to resume operations on 01 September 2026.
