Long Thành International Airport development
Overview
Long Thành International Airport is entering its final construction stages, with a target for commercial operations set for December 24, 2026. The facility includes a 4,000m runway, a 123m air traffic control tower, and a passenger terminal featuring a central steel roof structure weighing over 5,300 tons.
