(CPV) - The Ministry of Transport (MOT) said it will continue to review the needs and planning capabilities for the construction of new airports proposed by 10 localities to the Ministry.

On June 5, the Ministry of Transport sent Official Dispatch 5555/BC-BGTVT presenting a number of contents related to the group of questions at the 5th session of the 15th National Assembly.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Transport said that the airport system planned to 2050 will have 33 airports, enough to meet the socio -economic development needs of the whole country and regions.

In the period of 2021 - 2025, the Ministry of Transport has allocated state budget capital to renovate a number of major airports such as Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, and Con Dao. In addition, ACV - a state-owned enterprise managing 21/22 existing airports - has also invested in the construction of Long Thanh International Airport (phase 1), Terminal T3 - Tan Son Nhat, Terminal T2 - Noi Bai and the expansion of a number of other airports.

In the coming time, ACV will continue to invest in expanding terminals and technical infrastructure works at airports according to the plan. For localities that have proposed to build new airports (10 provinces), the Ministry of Transport will review the demand and planning capacity. If localities have plans to develop breakthroughs in tourism, economic zones, etc. and have social capital, they will consider adding them to the plan when qualified.

The Ministry of Transport has proposed that the Prime Minister identify localities (Ha Giang, Yen Bai, Tuyen Quang, Ha Tinh, Kon Tum, Quang Ngai, Khanh Hoa, Binh Thuan, Dak Nong, Tay Ninh) as potential locations and assign local authorities to develop a feasibility assessment project to report to competent authorities./.
