Phase 1 is expected to be completed and put into operation by 2026, creating a significant driving force for the province’s development.
Dong Nai has planned to build and develop the Long Thanh Airport City, investing in the construction and upgrade of four transportation projects with a total investment of VND 22,600 billion to connect to Long Thanh Airport.
