Presenting the report, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh said the Government proposed that the National Assembly consider and adjust the content of Clause 6, Article 2 of Resolution No. 94/2015 on the investment policy of the Long Thanh International Airport Project (Long Thanh International Airport) to allow the Government to approve the Feasibility Study Report for Phase 2 of the project under its authority without having to report to the National Assembly for approval.
At the same time, the Government proposed to include the above recommendation in the content of the Joint Resolution of the 10th Session.
" The National Assembly 's permission for the Government to organize the approval of the Feasibility Study Report for Phase 2 of the project under its authority without having to report to the National Assembly for approval will help the Government proactively organize research, appraisal, and approval of the Feasibility Study Report for Phase 2, in accordance with the policy of decentralization and delegation of power and the provisions of Clause 1, Article 43 of the 2024 Law on Public Investment," the submission stated.

Minister Tran Hong Minh said that initially, the Feasibility Study Report for Phase 1 of the project, based on forecasts of transportation demand, expected the research and investment time for Phase 2 (including the third runway and second passenger terminal) to be from 2028 to 2032.
However, with the GDP growth scenario set for 2026 reaching double digits, passenger throughput at airports in general, and Long Thanh International Airport in particular, will increase faster than previously forecast. Therefore, it is necessary to organize investment research for phase 2 earlier than expected.
In addition, the research and investment in the third runway in phase 2 will take advantage of the available labor, machinery and equipment of the contractors currently constructing, thereby saving time, costs, shortening progress and improving construction investment efficiency.
At the same time, it contributes to minimizing impacts on Port operations such as dust and noise caused by phase 2 construction activities.

According to the approved investment policy and planning, phase 2 of the project is expected to invest in 1 runway, 1 passenger terminal with a capacity of 25 million passengers/year and synchronous works to meet exploitation needs.
Based on the organization and investment form of the component projects of phase 1, the Government plans to assign ACV as the investor of essential works and other works of phase 2 (third runway, taxiway system, aircraft parking lot, passenger terminal...), VATM as the investor of works ensuring flight operations of phase 2 (DVOR/DME station, surveillance radar system, weather radar...).
During the review, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee Phan Van Mai said that the Committee found that the Government's proposal was well-founded and consistent with current regulations, the implementation of the Party's policy on promoting decentralization and delegation of power, helping to simplify and shorten the time for preparing Feasibility Study Reports and deciding on investment in important national projects in Clause 1, Article 43 of the Law on Public Investment 2024 (amended and supplemented in 2025).
The Committee also agreed to present the proposed content in the Resolution of the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly, similar to other adjustments related to the Long Thanh International Airport Project.
