HCMC – Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has approved an investment adjustment for the first phase of Long Thanh International Airport, in which the total investment is raised to VND109.7 trillion, up by VND605 billion versus the previous estimate.
The decision also revises and adds the investor for component project 4.
The People’s Committee of Dong Nai Province has been tasked with selecting investors for aircraft fuel pipeline system construction from the source port to the boundary of Long Thanh International Airport; aviation industrial park; and airline operations center.
The Ministry of Construction will handle the selection of investors for the aircraft maintenance area (from hangars 1 to 4), cargo terminal 2, express cargo terminal, and cargo handling warehouse (from 5 to 8).
The Airports Corporation of Vietnam will invest in cargo handling warehouses from 1 to 4, solar power systems, and technical infrastructure connected in sync with aviation service facilities.
In addition, the investment objective for the first phase has also been adjusted to include two runways, one passenger terminal, and supporting facilities, aiming to accommodate a capacity of 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of cargo per year.
The airfield infrastructure will consist of two runways, each 4,000 meters long and 75 meters wide, along with taxiways and parking areas to ensure the capacity is met.
The project is scheduled to be implemented from 2020 to 2026, with basic completion expected within 2025.
