HANOI—Vietnam has opened a new international airport in the southern Mekong Delta, state media said on Sunday.

"The airport provides a big opportunity for Can Tho city in particular and the southwestern area in general to make fast and sustainable development and helps facilitate air travel in the region," Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said at the inauguration on Saturday.
The airport is expected to be a significant boost to the Mekong delta's economy, as well as improving defense, security, and international integration, the agency said.
