"Mekong Tourism Resettlement ProjectАрхивировано 7 июня 2011 года.", Lao National Tourism Authority, page 4: The existing airport runway is only 1,200 m, which is 300 m short of the 1,500 m runway standard. In addition, the runway is in poor condition, full of patches, encroached with vegetation and lacks a drainage system. Thus, it is considered unsafe especially during the rainy season. At present, the airport is unable to receive ATR72 (70 seats) and only receives Chinese built YN7 (50 seat) and YN12 (12 seats). This subproject aims to improve and extend the runway, construct a drainage system, passenger terminal and small control tower, and provide emergency and fire service equipment and air navigation services.
