According to the Minister, Gia Binh airport will contribute to sharing the load for Noi Bai, and at the same time restructure the aviation network according to the multi-center model. Simultaneous exploitation of many airports in a region has been applied by many countries. The aviation management agency will establish a common airspace, each flight route is designed separately by satellite navigation to ensure safe distance, limit intersections and conflicts.
Regarding issues related to the relocation of relics and housing, the Minister said that during construction, solutions will be applied to preserve the architectural form of the relics, moving them in accordance with the wishes of the people and the regulations on conservation. In addition to compensation costs, the project also has funding to support people to stabilize their lives in the new resettlement area, this will be implemented by the local government according to regulations.
Speaking earlier, delegate Duong Khac Mai, Deputy Head of the Lam Dong delegation, agreed with the project investment policy, saying that Gia Binh International Airport will open up new development space for the region, especially for the manufacturing, logistics, trade and aviation support industries. However, he suggested reviewing to ensure consistency with the planning of Bac Ninh province after the merger, especially when the land use area is large, including many areas of land for two-crop rice cultivation.
Delegates also noted that converting rice fields to non- agricultural purposes is irreversible, so careful calculations are needed to minimize the impact on food security in the context of climate change. Regarding technical indicators such as five stars and zero carbon, delegates suggested that they be clearly quantified to ensure financial suitability, avoid capital overruns and prolong recovery time.
Delegate Tran Van Tien, Phu Tho delegation, said the total investment capital of the project is 196,000 billion VND, of which equity capital accounts for 15%, the rest is mobilized from legal sources, not using state capital. However, the project description mentioned the state budget participating in the reimbursement of technical infrastructure such as cemeteries, religious works, resettlement, schools, irrigation, traffic, electricity. The delegate requested clarification of the scale of state capital, source of arrangement and recovery time to ensure feasibility.
