Mr. Nguyen Tien Viet, Deputy General Director of ACV, said that in July, ACV completed the bidding process and selected contractors for this project and started construction in August.

“In August and September, construction of runways, landing pads, and aircraft parking lots will also begin simultaneously,” said Mr. Viet.

To simultaneously start construction of all items within the expected time, ACV recommends that Long Thanh district soon complete the land clearance for the connection (T1 and T2 routes), with special priority given to T1 route.

Regarding site clearance, up to now, Long Thanh district has basically completed the 1,810ha area for phase 1 airport construction and the 722ha area for surplus land reserve.

For the 2 routes connecting Long Thanh airport, strive to complete the handover of the entire T1 route in July.
