Vietnam's largest airport Long Thanh enters final sprint before December opening
All-out efforts are underway at Long Thanh International Airport to complete key components, with trial operations targeted for late September and commercial operations in December.
Vietnam's largest airport, Long Thanh, is in the final stages of preparation for its December opening. Contractors are working around the clock to meet the tight schedule, focusing on various aspects such as passenger terminal construction, equipment installation, and wastewater treatment facility completion. The project, which began in March 2024, has seen significant progress, with 80% of the contract value completed, excluding contingencies.
The passenger terminal, the largest and most complex component, is over 77% complete, while the first runway, taxiway, and related facilities are nearly 99% finished. The airport operator consortium, comprising Incheon Airport of the Republic of Korea and Vietnam's PMI Consulting JSC, has developed trial-operation scenarios to ensure smooth operations upon opening.
