The site clearance will be carried out on an area of over 100 hectares in Ward 6 and Tan Thanh Ward, Ca Mau city. After a thorough review, the authorities identified 5 organizations and more than 700 households and individuals affected by the project.
According to the Department of Planning and Investment, from now until the end of the year, the province will carry out procedures for land measurement, inventory of assets attached to the land, and formulation of compensation plans, as well as provide support for resettlement and partial site handover.
The locality also strives to hand over the remaining construction site to the Vietnam Airports Corporation by early 2025.
The People’s Committee of Ca Mau province directs relevant agencies to fully implement compensation, support, and resettlement policies, ensuring that affected households are relocated to stable and safe residential and production areas.
Currently, Ca Mau Airport has a 1,500-meter-long and 30-meter-wide runway, which can only accommodate short flights using ATR72 or equivalent aircraft. There is only one flight route, Ca Mau – Ho Chi Minh City and vice versa, with a frequency of 4 flights per week.
According to the approved master plan, the airport will be a domestic airport for both civil and military use.
Specifically, from 2021 to 2030, Ca Mau Airport will be a grade 4C civil airport and a grade 2 military airport. The airport will serve approximately 1 million passengers and 1,000 tons of cargo annually.
Looking ahead to 2050, the airport’s capacity is expected to be increased to accommodate around 3 million passengers and 3,000 tons of cargo per year.
