Vietnam Ministry of Construction sets deadlines for Long Thanh Airport preparation

The Vietnam Ministry of Construction has issued a directive to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam and the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) to accelerate preparations for the first phase of Long Thanh International Airport. The move follows instructions from Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc to ensure the project remains on schedule for its planned commercial operation.

ACV is required to coordinate with relevant ministries and local authorities to develop operational plans that prioritize security, safety, and efficiency. Key tasks include reviewing the progress of construction packages, completing legal procedures, and evaluating the results of the Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT) program.

Deadlines have been established for reporting: ACV must submit its operational plans to the Ministry of Construction and the Civil Aviation Authority by November 15. The Civil Aviation Authority must then review these plans and submit its findings by November 18, enabling the Ministry to hold a review meeting regarding the airport's readiness.
