According to Mr. Le Khac Hong - Head of the T3 Terminal Construction Project Management Board, to properly implement the above plan, the contractor consortium must complete it 1 month before that time.

“That means the items must be completed by March 31, 2025 at the latest for testing and acceptance. The competition is 120 days but in reality, we only have 90 days left. The biggest challenge is that Tet is 1 month away, at that time it is very difficult to mobilize enough workers, so we need to have policies to encourage and attract workers,” Mr. Hong shared.

The project will fundamentally resolve traffic congestion at the existing Tan Son Nhat airport.
