Quảng Trị airport is preparing an obstacle-clearance inspection flight for 15 October, Báo Chính phủ reports. Project managers say construction exceeds 80%, with runway, apron and taxiway works completed while terminal work continues. Further flight-procedure assessment, calibration and licensing steps remain after that inspection. The target for commercial operation is March 2027. The proposed inspection flight is a technical milestone, rather than confirmation that the airport is already open.
