The construction came into service as part of preparations for the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) Summit, which will be hosted in Da Nang City this November. The new terminal covering an area of 21.000 square meters, received total investment of US$155 million from the Da Nang Internatinal Terminal Investment and Operation JSC.  It offers 82 counters for check-in, check-out, migration and immigration, as well as 10 boarding gates with capacity of accommodating six million passengers per year, and serve 1.600 passengers at peak hours.  The project also included a flyover and a parking area to serve around 400 cars.
