Prime Minister Visits Project Management Team

The Long Thanh International Airport is the largest airport project ever undertaken in Vietnam, holding immense significance for the socio-economic development of the Southeast region and the entire country. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh commended the project’s progress, highlighting several remarkable achievements. Substantial portions of the overall project have been completed, with the structure becoming increasingly apparent. Many project packages, particularly components 2 and 3, have surpassed their scheduled progress, supported by the mobilization of over 6,000 personnel and 2,200 construction machines on-site.

Positive Progress in Project Implementation

Looking ahead, the Prime Minister emphasized the need for a clear delineation of "roles, tasks, timelines, responsibilities, and deliverables." He noted that success hinges on timely decisions, commitment, and efficient resource management. All work must be completed by December 31, 2025, with Long Thanh Airport slated for operation by February 28, 2026. 

The Prime Minister stressed that while progress is paramount, stringent oversight must be maintained to enhance quality, ensure occupational safety, uphold technical and aesthetic standards, protect the environment, and safeguard local livelihoods. Additionally, preparations for the second phase of the Long Thanh International Airport project should commence promptly, leveraging the existing workforce and machinery already on-site.
