Proposal to borrow 15,030 billion VND in government bonds to expand Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway

The State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises has just sent a document to the ministries of Finance, Planning and Investment, Justice, Transport and the State Bank of Vietnam asking for opinions on the plan to re-borrow from government bonds issued to invest in expanding the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway section.

Specifically, the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises proposed that the Government consider and approve the report to the National Assembly to agree to let the Government re-borrow capital from government bonds issued by the Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) to have a source to invest in the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh Expressway expansion project.

A section of the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh highway.

The value of this loan is approximately VND 15,030 billion (equivalent to 100% of the total investment excluding interest during construction) with a loan term of 15 years.

Previously, in Notice No. 554/TB-VPCP dated December 13, 2024 of the Government Office, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc assigned the Committee, VEC and relevant agencies according to their assigned functions and tasks to urgently review and study the re-borrowing plan from the source of issued Government bonds to have resources to implement investment to expand the Project, report to competent authorities for consideration and decision; on that basis, fully consult relevant ministries and agencies, complete the dossier in accordance with legal regulations and submit to competent authorities.

It is known that Clause 10, Article 3 of the Law on Public Debt Management No. 20/2017/QH14 dated November 23, 2017 stipulates: Government bonds are debt instruments issued by the Government to mobilize capital for the state budget or restructure debt.

Clauses 1, 2, 3, Article 25 of the Law on Public Debt Management No. 20/2017/QH14 dated November 23, 2017 stipulate: The purpose of the Government's borrowing is to: offset the central budget deficit for development investment, not use borrowed capital for regular expenditure; offset temporary deficits of the central budget and ensure liquidity of the Government bond market; pay principal debts when due, and restructure Government debts.

“Because the issuance of government bonds does not include the purpose of lending to enterprises to invest in projects, the decision to lend to enterprises from government bonds is under the authority of the National Assembly,” said the leader of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises.

It is known that the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh Expressway expansion project is expected to start from Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 2 to Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway intersection (Km4+000 - Km25+920), with a total length of 21.92 km.

Of which, the section from Ring Road 2 – Ring Road 3 (Km4+00 – Km8+770) is expanded to 8 lanes according to the plan; the section from Ring Road 3 to Bien Hoa – Vung Tau expressway intersection (Km8+770 – Km25+920) is expanded to 10 lanes.

The total investment of the Project is estimated at about 15,722 billion VND (including interest during the construction period), of which VEC mobilizes 100% of the capital to implement the Project investment and organize exploitation, collect fees to repay the capital in accordance with the Investment Law. The principal amount of the government bond is paid once on the maturity date; interest is paid annually.

According to VEC's calculations, the project's payback period is 18 years; the cumulative after-tax cash flow of the expansion project and the combined cash flow of the 5 expressway projects invested by VEC are always positive. Therefore, this option is financially feasible.

Nam Dinh officially established Ninh Co Economic Zone

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha signed Decision No. 88/QD-TTg dated January 14, 2025 on the establishment of Ninh Co Economic Zone, Nam Dinh province.

The official establishment of Ninh Co Economic Zone marks an important turning point in the economic development strategy of Nam Dinh province and the Northern coastal region. This economic zone has an area of 13,950 hectares, divided into 9 administrative units including Nghia Hung and Hai Hau districts, including coastal alluvial plains.

Ninh Co Economic Zone – new development driving force of Nam Dinh province.

Specifically, in Nghia Hung district, the Economic Zone includes Rang Dong town, Phuc Thang, Nghia Loi, Nam Dien communes, part of Quy Nhat town (formerly Nghia Binh commune) and alluvial areas. In Hai Hau district, the Economic Zone includes the entire Thinh Long town and Hai Ninh, Hai Chau, and Hai Hoa communes.

The decision to establish Ninh Co Economic Zone was made in the context of the Government promoting the strong development of coastal areas and becoming an important driving force in the national economy. This economic zone is not only developed to optimize the advantages of geographical location and human resources, but also closely combines with national defense, security and environmental protection factors. The goal is to build Ninh Co into a comprehensive, multi-industry, multi-functional marine economic zone with strong influence on the provinces in the Red River Delta and the economic belt of the Gulf of Tonkin.

The strategic vision of Ninh Co Economic Zone is to develop a modern economic zone, with synchronous infrastructure, favorable investment environment and harmonious development of industry, services, tourism, seaports and high-tech agriculture. This will not only help improve Nam Dinh's competitiveness, but also contribute to the overall development of the entire Red River Delta and other key economic regions.

Ninh Co Economic Zone will be developed in three specific phases, with a detailed roadmap. The first phase (2024-2026) will focus on completing the planning and implementing basic infrastructure works such as transportation, electricity, water supply, industrial parks, and essential public projects.

Phase II (2026 – 2030) will continue to synchronize technical and social infrastructure elements, with special focus on developing processing industries, trade services and new urban areas.

Phase III (after 2030) will focus on completing technical infrastructure, building modern social systems and economic infrastructure, forming a sustainable economic zone, creating a solid foundation for future generations.

The Nam Dinh Provincial People's Committee will be primarily responsible for implementing the planning and investment in the development of Ninh Co Economic Zone, coordinating with central ministries and branches to complete land use indicators, build functional areas, and develop technical and social infrastructure. At the same time, the province also focuses on environmental protection, conservation of marine ecosystems and cultural and historical values in the area. Environmental protection solutions will be clearly stated in the development plan, including commitments to reforestation, protection of mangrove forests and strict monitoring of construction investment activities and discharges into the environment.

In addition to developing industrial parks, urban areas and infrastructure works, Ninh Co Economic Zone also creates thousands of job opportunities for local people, improving the quality of human resources through training and career conversion programs. Resettlement areas and social housing will be deployed to ensure the welfare of households affected by development projects. Ninh Co Economic Zone will not only boost the economy but also create a sustainable and quality living environment for people in the area.

With its strategic geographical location, Ninh Co Economic Zone will become a strongly developing marine economic center, conveniently connecting with key economic regions in the country and the Gulf of Tonkin. The development of Ninh Co Economic Zone will not only have a strong impact on the economy of Nam Dinh province but also contribute significantly to the overall development of the provinces in the Red River Delta and the Northern coastal region.

The Government and Nam Dinh Province are committed to creating favorable conditions for investors, businesses and communities to participate in the development of Ninh Co Economic Zone. With smart investment strategies, the support of major investors and strong support from authorities, Ninh Co Economic Zone promises to become a bright spot in Vietnam's marine economic development, contributing to strongly promoting the development of the northern coastal region in the coming decades.

Proposal to increase the capacity of Dak Sa Hydropower Plant to 4MW

The Office of the People's Committee of Quang Nam province has just transferred the proposal to increase the capacity of Dak Sa Hydropower Plant in Phuoc Duc commune, Phuoc Son district of FDEVN Joint Stock Company to the Department of Industry and Trade to preside over and coordinate with relevant sectors and localities to inspect and advise the Provincial People's Committee to resolve in accordance with regulations.

“FDEVN Joint Stock Company is responsible for coordinating, working, and providing relevant records and documents as requested to the Department of Industry and Trade for inspection, guidance, and resolution,” the Office of the People's Committee of Quang Nam province requested.

In a petition sent to the People's Committee of Quang Nam province on January 10, 2025, FDEVN Joint Stock Company said that Dak Sa Hydropower Plant with an installed capacity of 1.96 MW was put into operation in 2016, annually supplying the regional grid with about 8,445 million kWh.

In the actual operation process, it shows that for hydropower projects with small reservoir capacity (daily regulation) such as Dak Sa Hydropower Plant, there is a lot of water in the rainy season. Although they have operated at full capacity, they still have to discharge a relatively large surplus, so they have not exploited and used water resources in the basin effectively.

On that basis, FDEVN Joint Stock Company hired a specialized consulting unit to research, survey, and develop a plan to expand and increase the capacity of Dak Sa Hydropower Plant to exploit and effectively use water resources in the basin and increase electricity supply to the grid.

FDEVN Joint Stock Company submitted to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and proposed to competent authorities to approve the plan to expand Dak Sa Hydropower Plant from 1.96MW to 4MW so that the investor has a basis to carry out the next procedures.

Hai Phong and Quang Ninh attract 7.82 billion USD of FDI capital

As of December 31, 2024, Hai Phong's foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction reached 4.94 billion USD (including adjusted capital increase), ranking second among provinces and cities nationwide.

The proportion of projects in the fields of high technology, processing, manufacturing, and logistics invested in industrial parks and economic zones in Hai Phong is over 77%. The fact that many foreign-invested enterprises continue to pour capital into Hai Phong shows the growing attraction of this city.

This was once again affirmed by the General Director of LG Display Vietnam Co., Ltd., Mr. Choi In Kwan, Hai Phong is an ideal city for businesses and a place with many excellent human resources with good infrastructure systems such as seaports and international airports.

Last year, Hai Phong focused on promoting key markets, researching and selecting in advance. This helped the city attract quality FDI capital. Many leading corporations in the world such as LG, Pegatron, USI, Bridgestone, etc. came to Hai Phong, bringing with them many satellite projects in the supply chain, forming linked chains.

In November 2024, the People's Committee of Hai Phong City granted investment registration certificates to 12 new and expanded projects in industrial parks in the city, with a total additional investment capital of 1.8 billion USD. Typically, the LG Display Vietnam Expansion Investment Project in Trang Due Industrial Park increased its investment capital from 4.65 billion USD to 5.65 billion USD (an increase of 1 billion USD). Or the project of investor Heesung (Korea) increased its capital from 154 million USD to 279 million USD...

Mr. Le Trung Kien, Head of Hai Phong Economic Zone Management Board (Heza) said: “Entering 2025, with the goal of attracting 4.5 billion USD, Heza will continue to promote investment promotion activities, focusing on attracting investment in industries and fields belonging to the 3 economic pillars identified as seaports, logistics, and high-tech industry. These fundamental solutions have been and are being implemented drastically by Hai Phong to maintain its strong attraction to investors.”

According to Mr. Kien, Hai Phong will develop the southern coastal economic zone. Along with that, deploy new industrial parks and ecological industrial parks. At the same time, strengthen digital transformation, complete the work of streamlining the organizational apparatus, improve the quality of management work, administrative reform, improve the investment environment so that the city continues to be a reliable destination for investors.

As for Quang Ninh, the processing and manufacturing industry is one of the new pillars. In 2024, this industry with key projects in industrial parks and economic zones of the province continued to act as a main driving force for socio -economic growth of Quang Ninh. The proportion of processing and manufacturing industry accounts for about 12.5% in the GRDP of the province, expected by 2025, this rate will be raised to 15%.

Thanks to effective investment promotion, in 2024, investment attraction in the province has achieved remarkable results. Accumulated to December 2024, the province attracted 2.88 billion USD in FDI investment, ranking fourth in the country, right after Ho Chi Minh City. In industrial parks and economic zones alone, 2.64 billion USD was attracted (accounting for 92% of the province), of which 42 new investment projects were granted (including 35 FDI projects); 77 projects were adjusted (including 63 FDI projects), 33 projects adjusted to increase investment capital (including 29 FDI projects). In total, the province granted 43 new investment projects worth 2.07 billion USD, 31 projects increased capital worth 804.8 million USD.

In July 2024, Foxconn Group continued to implement two projects, including the smart entertainment product project in Song Khoai Industrial Park and the smart system project at Deep C Quang Ninh II, with a total investment of more than 550 million USD, bringing the total investment capital of this group to Quang Ninh to over 1 billion USD. These are all projects in the field of processing and manufacturing industry, in accordance with the goals and orientations to attract investment of Quang Ninh.

“To achieve the above investment attraction results, we can clearly see the proactive and drastic efforts to overcome difficulties in site clearance, electricity and water supply, ensuring human resources, and meeting the needs of investors implementing projects in Quang Ninh province,” Mr. Pham Xuan Dai, Head of the Quang Ninh Economic Zone Management Board, pointed out the reasons for success.

The project is 4 km long, with a total investment of VND 938.9 billion from the Ho Chi Minh City budget.

Currently, Ho Chi Minh City is preparing a feasibility study report and is expected to complete the contractor selection and contract signing procedures in 2 days.

According to the plan, the project's pre-feasibility report will be approved in April 2025 and construction will start in the third quarter of 2025, and put into operation in 2026.

Regarding these projects, at the conference, Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc proposed that Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai closely coordinate with the Ministry of Transport to soon start construction of this project so that it can be put into operation in September 2026 in sync with Long Thanh International Airport.

Along with the project to expand the road connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai are agreeing on the plan and regulations for coordinating investment in Cat Lai Bridge, Phu My 2 Bridge, and Long Thanh 2 Bridge in the near future.

Currently, the road leading to the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway is often congested due to overload. Statistics from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport show that since its inauguration in 2016, the traffic volume has continuously increased (an average of 11.12% per year).

In particular, the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh section is forecasted to have a traffic volume of about 72,254 CPUs/day and night by 2025, exceeding 25% of the current 4-lane capacity.

Therefore, it is urgent to invest in expanding the expressway section from Ho Chi Minh City to Long Thanh, including the section from An Phu intersection to Ring Road 2, from 4 lanes to 8 lanes.

Proposal to assign Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee to preside over the upgrading of National Highway 14B

The Ministry of Transport has just sent an official dispatch to the Prime Minister regarding the investment plan to upgrade and expand National Highway 14B through Quang Nam province.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Transport proposed that the Head of Government consider assigning the People's Committee of Quang Nam province to preside over the implementation of the investment project to upgrade and expand National Highway 14B through Quang Nam province. The Ministry of Transport will closely coordinate during the implementation process.

In addition, in order to sync with the investment of National Highway 14D, the Ministry of Transport proposed the Prime Minister to consider and allocate capital for the project of renovating and upgrading National Highway 14D from the common provision for the medium -term public investment plan for the period 2021 - 2025 or the source of revenue in 2024, as a basis for the People's Committee of Quang Nam Province to implement construction in 2025, striving to complete the project in 2026.

A section of National Highway 14B through Quang Nam.

It is known that National Highway 14B connecting Ho Chi Minh Road in Nam Giang District, Quang Nam Province with Tien Sa Port, Da Nang City is one of the vital routes in Quang Nam Province.

National Highway 14B is also a cross-regional route in the Central Central region connecting coastal routes, National Highway 1, the North-South Expressway in the East, the Eastern Truong Son Road and the Ho Chi Minh Road in the region. According to the approved road network planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, National Highway 14B is 74 km long (the section through Da Nang City is about 32 km long, the section through Quang Nam Province is about 42 km long), with a scale of level III - IV, 2 - 4 lanes.

Currently, the section through Da Nang City, about 32 km long, has been invested in with a scale of 6 lanes; the section through Quang Nam Province, about 42 km long, was built since 2004 with a scale of level III mountainous area (roadbed width 9m), 2 lanes, asphalt concrete road surface.

According to the report of the Vietnam Road Administration, from July 2023 to December 2024, the volume of heavy trucks transporting goods from Laos to Vietnam through the Nam Giang international border gate along National Highway 14D to National Highway 14B increased (about 456 trips/day and night to 1,572 trips/day and night), so the road was damaged and degraded.

Therefore, the Ministry of Transport believes that early investment in renovating and upgrading National Highway 14B through Quang Nam province is necessary.

In 2015, the Ministry of Transport planned to invest in the section from Km32 - Km50 (Tuy Loan - Ha Nha bridge) with a scale of 4 lanes under the BOT form. However, the project was not implemented due to the lack of consensus from the people of Da Nang and Quang Nam when conducting community consultation; on the other hand, due to difficulties in capital sources in the medium-term plan for the period 2016 - 2020 and the period 2021 - 2025, the project has not been able to balance the capital sources for implementation.

To ensure traffic safety on National Highway 14B through Quang Nam province and in accordance with the approved planning, the People's Committee of Quang Nam province has proposed an investment plan to upgrade and expand the section bordering Da Nang city to Ha Nha bridge, 17.9 km long (Km32+126 - Km50) from 2 lanes to 4 lanes (roadbed width 20.5 m) with a median strip and 2 lanes for rudimentary vehicles; the section from Ha Nha bridge to Thanh My (intersection with Ho Chi Minh road) is 24 km long (Km50 - Km74) with investment to expand the roadbed width to 12 m; invest in a lighting system for the entire route with a cost of about 1,290 billion VND.

Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee also proposed to build a road on both sides of the section bordering Da Nang City to Ha Nha Bridge with a roadbed width of 9 m, costing about 1,255 billion VND.

The plan to "raise life", exploit duality of Gia Binh airport

The Ministry of Transport (MOT) has just issued Official Dispatch No. 393/BGTVT – KHĐT to the People's Committee of Bac Ninh province to give opinions on the Project to Study the Possibility of Establishing Gia Binh Airport (Bac Ninh).

This is a document that the Ministry of Transport has compiled opinions from the Ministries of Finance, Planning and Investment, Natural Resources and Environment, Public Security, National Defense, Construction and the Hanoi People's Committee, the Bac Giang Department of Transport and specialized agencies of the Ministry of Transport on the Project.

Location of Gia Binh Airport

According to Mr. Nguyen Duy Lam, Deputy Minister of Transport, in Decision No. 648/QD-TTg, June 7, 2023 of the Prime Minister on approving the master plan for development of the national airport and airport system in the period of 2021-2030, vision to 2050 has stipulated: Research, survey and assess the ability to plan successfully for a number of airports for defense and security airports; Some important positions of urgent, relief, potential for tourism development, services and other positions can build and exploit airports; Report to the Prime Minister to consider supplementing the plan when eligible. Accordingly, Gia Binh Airport (specialized airport for security - defense) is one of 12 potential airports and airports that are likely to be put into planning into dual -use airports, including civil aviation.

Decision No. 648 also assigns the People's Committees of the provinces to organize the preparation of airport planning projects, including a thorough assessment of the needs, conditions, and possibilities of airport formation as well as related impacts, mobilizing maximum non-budgetary capital for investment under the public-private partnership (PPP) method, sending it to the Ministry of Transport for consideration, reporting to the Prime Minister to decide on the addition of planning and implementing construction investment when conditions are met.

In addition, in Decision No. 98/QD-TTg dated September 17, 2024 on the investment policy of the Gia Binh Airport Construction Project, the Prime Minister also assigned the People's Committee of Bac Ninh province to preside over the preparation of a Project to study the possibility of forming Gia Binh Airport as a basis for reporting to the Prime Minister to decide to add Gia Binh Airport to the national airport network planning.

"Thus, the People's Committee of Bac Ninh province has established a Project to study the possibility of forming Gia Binh Airport to assess the potential and ability to build and exploit civil aviation, as a basis for reporting to the Prime Minister, which is in line with the assigned policies and tasks," the leader of the Ministry of Transport assessed.

The second favorable signal for the Project is the selection of location and planning capacity of Gia Binh Airport.

According to the Ministry of Transport, Gia Binh Airport was formed on the basis of Gia Binh Airport, which was planned as a specialized airport and had its investment policy approved by the Prime Minister.

Therefore, factors regarding natural conditions and basic terrain have been evaluated in related documents to ensure feasibility.

Regarding airspace organization and flight methods, according to the assessment of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, the design of flight methods for Gia Binh Airport is feasible in terms of obstacle avoidance standards, and can ensure complete avoidance of the VVP1 no-fly zone.

Ensuring the separation between the flight methods of Gia Binh Airport and the flight methods at Noi Bai International Airport, Cat Bi can be done through the use of flight methods (PBN), combined with tactical flight operating to arrange the order of landing for landing among airports appropriately.

"Flight operations outside Gia Binh Airport's airspace are expected to be undertaken by Noi Bai's approach control facility (APP) to unify a common flight control point for the cluster of airports to ensure safety when operating simultaneously within the same Noi Bai approach control area (TMA), the leader of the Ministry of Transport informed.

According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, in the Master Plan for the development of the national airport system for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, the national airport network is expected to include the second airport in the Southeast and South of Hanoi.

The Ministry of Planning and Investment proposed additional consultancy to assess the related impact between Gia Binh Airport and the second airport of Hanoi Capital in a vision to 2050.

Previously, at the end of December 2024, the People's Committee of Bac Ninh province sent the Project to Study the possibility of forming Gia Binh Airport (prepared by the Aviation Construction Design and Consulting Company Limited - ADCC) for consultation with relevant ministries and branches.

According to the proposal, Gia Binh Airport in the planning phase will have a construction area within the boundary of 363.5 hectares, an increase of about 250 hectares compared to the scale of phase I being implemented by the Ministry of Public Security.

The operating model of Gia Binh Airport is to serve the tasks of the Police Air Force Regiment, ensuring national security (Police) combined with socio-economic development, similar to the model of Phan Thiet Airport, which is an airport serving national defense and security activities combined with socio-economic development.

In addition to military aviation activities, Gia Binh Airport, if permitted by competent authorities, will operate domestic flights on the North-South axis, connecting major economic, political and cultural centers of the country such as Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Cam Ranh, Phu Cat, Lien Khuong, Can Tho; direct charter flights to airports around the world and vice versa.

For international flight routes, Gia Binh Airport will exploit routes directly to the airport of countries around the world that Vietnam has opened a trade route.

With the above investment scale, the total investment of Gia Binh Airport project in the period to 2030 is VND 17,159 billion; Phase II (completing all functional areas of the project) is estimated at VND 14,150.68 billion.

It is expected that state budget capital will be mobilized to build shared facilities (runways, taxiways, air traffic control towers), parking lots and VIP terminals, parking lots and barracks; socialized capital or capital from other legal sources according to current law will be used to build civil aviation facilities including "civil aviation aircraft parking lots, civil aviation terminals, and access traffic systems".

In the opinion of the Ministry of Transport, due to the majority of the estimated land of Gia Binh Airport, the purpose of security is security, along with the expected plans to exploit dual use of special assets (takeoff lines, rolling roads, landing equipment systems, etc.) can lead to problems when implementing the provisions of the Land Law, the Law on Management, the use of public assets.

Therefore, it is recommended that the consulting unit define more clearly the model of the airport enterprise (an enterprise under the Ministry of Public Security or another model); based on analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the model, it will recommend to the competent authority the appropriate investment plan and exploitation model.

In the Project, the consulting unit proposed to establish Gia Binh Airport with the main goal and purpose of serving national security and serving the state's special aircraft operations. Civil aviation activities are additional and supportive activities to increase the operational efficiency of Gia Binh Airport and promote the socio-economic development of the locality and region.

"The investment in construction and putting into operation Gia Binh Airport should be associated with the set goals and should be analyzed and evaluated on the overall objectives of the project, should not assess the investment efficiency separately when only associated with the economic exploitation economic operations merely," the Ministry of Transport's leaders proposed.

According to Mr. Vuong Tuan, Chairman of Bac Ninh People's Committee, recently, the locality has cooperated with the Ministry of Public Security to implement the site clearance for the first phase of the project to build Gia Binh Airport and have completed land handover to the Ministry of Public Security to implement the airport construction.

"On the basis of the demand for freight transportation to promote trade, e -commerce production and development of the provincial logistics centers, taking advantage of the flight infrastructure is being invested to build the formation of Gia Gia airport for passengers and goods to ensure security and defense, while ensuring the local socio -economic development of the locality is necessary," Mr. Vuong Quoc Tuan said.

Based on the planned planning of Gia Binh Airport, the consulting unit proposed that the Gia Binh Airport Construction Investment Project be divided into two phases. Phase I - by 2030, ensures the exploitation of 1 million passengers/year and 250 tons of cargo. Phase II - by 2050, the exploitation of 3 million passengers/year and 1 million tons of cargo.

In phase I, ADCC proposed to invest in a runway system measuring 3,500x45 m; taxiways, aircraft parking lots of the Police Air Force Regiment, barracks, special aircraft terminal, special aircraft parking lots, off-site technical garage; works to ensure flight operations...

To exploit civil aviation, also in Phase I, the Project also builds a passenger terminal to meet the exploitation of 1 million passengers/year, a cargo terminal to meet the exploitation of 250,000 tons of cargo/year; air traffic control tower; civil aviation aircraft parking lot; state agency works at the airport; traffic infrastructure, parking lots, technical infrastructure of civil aviation area to meet the exploitation.
