  "account": "The Long Thanh International Airport construction site remains busy even during the National Day holiday from August 29 to September 2. The Project Management Board has instructed contractors and oversight consultants to keep working continuously throughout the break, ensuring personnel, machinery, equipment, and materials are in place. Nighttime work is being arranged for essential tasks. The focus is on works required for the airport's technical operations in September 2026, specifically areas being prepared for the installation of specialized equipment. With limited time left to meet the targets of Component 3, Phase 1, the board emphasized the need for ongoing construction to maximize the available time and speed up progress on crucial works. Contractors who fail to meet schedule, personnel, or equipment requirements, or disrupt the overall project plan, will be documented and dealt with as per their contracts. Earlier, on August 28, the Government Office released Document No. 8871/VPCP-CN, detailing Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc's instructions on the project's progress. Tuc requested a thorough assessment of the project's actual advancement, particularly focusing on Packages under Components 3 and 4 that face potential delays and may not be completed in 2026. He urged for prompt solutions to remove obstacles and expedite construction.",
