In his remarks at the ceremony in Dong Nai province, the PM stressed that infrastructure development, especially transport infrastructure, is one of the three strategic breakthroughs set by the Party and the State.
He said that Vietnam’s aviation infrastructure has been upgraded and expanded. However, it has yet to catch up with the development of the country and the world as well, with overloads seen at many airports, especially Tan Son Nhat.
The construction of passenger terminal T3 of Tan Son Nhat International Airport includes a passenger terminal, a high-rise garage combined with non-aviation services, and a flyover bridge.
The work is expected to be completed within 20 months and will be put into trial operation in the second quarter of 2025. Once it comes into operation, terminal T3 will have a capacity of 20 million passengers per year.
The Long Thanh International Airport’s 1st phase will have one runway and a passenger terminal with a capacity of handling 25 million passengers per year and 1.2 million tons of goods per year. Once completed, Long Thanh International Airport will have a capacity of 100 million passengers per year.
