Phu Quoc International Airport

Phu Quoc International Airport (Vietnamese: Sân bay quốc tế Phú Quốc or Cảng hàng không quốc tế Phú Quốc) (IATA: PQC, ICAO: VVPQ) is an international airport that was completed in 2012 on Phú Quốc Island, in southern Vietnam. The airport covers nearly 900ha in Duong To village, Phú Quốc island-district, Kiên Giang Province having been built at a cost of around VND 16.2 trillion (US$810 million) and is planned to be built in phases. The airport is 10 km from the previous Phu Quoc Airport, which it replaced. The airport was initially able to handle about 2.5 million passengers per annum, and the maximum capacity will be 7 million passengers per annum, with international destinations expected to include Singapore and Sihanoukville International Airport. The airport has a single 3000m runway, capable of handling aircraft like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 747.[3] The construction was completed in November 2012 and was put into operation on 2 December 2012.[4][5] The Vietnamese government expects the airport to facilitate the arrival of international tourists who are attracted to the island's beaches.

gollark: No, I mean they can't do it at all. A bruteforce attack on the stuff involved is not actually practical.
gollark: It would also probably still require more computing power than is practical to just do it to *everyone*.
gollark: Unless they've made some giant mathematical breakthrough and then not told anyone, this is essentially impossible.
gollark: Your ISP is almost certainly unable to break the encryption, although it's entirely possible the VPN provider just logs it on their end.
