Ca Mau Airport reopening delayed to December 18

The Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) has announced a delay in the reopening of Ca Mau Airport following its upgrade project. Originally scheduled to resume operations on November 29, the airport is now expected to reopen at 0:00 on December 18.

ACV attributed the delay to heavy rainfall during October and shortages in construction materials, which hindered the progress of various project components. While the passenger terminal construction is complete and electrical systems are undergoing testing, work continues on the airfield, including runways, taxiways, and parking areas.

The 2,400 billion VND expansion project is being managed by ACV. The company stated it will focus on completing main construction items, signal lighting, and navigation equipment, followed by mandatory inspections and testing to ensure technical safety before operations resume.
