Vientiane airport expansion not up to speed
The Vientiane International Airport Terminal Expansion project is now 13 percent complete after construction began in December 2015, but is a little behind schedule. According to the project’s monthly plan, the work should have been 16 percent complete last month but has only progressed by about 13 percent according to last month’s progress report. However, the project is expected to be back on track by the middle of this year, Project Director Mr Sengsangouane Chanthavong told Vientiane Times on March 16. The delay is the result of a variety of factors including a lack of coordination between the sectors involved as well as delays in the import of equipment and materials and document approval, Mr Sengsangouane said.
