The Grand Unveiling of Cat Bi Airport’s State-of-the-Art Cargo Terminal

On November 16, The Vietnam Airports Corporation, in coordination with Hai Phong City People’s Committee, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a cargo terminal at Cat Bi International Airport.

The project has a total investment of VND 724 billion, with a designed capacity of 100,000 tons of cargo per year and a synchronous technical infrastructure system, expandable to 250,000 tons of cargo per year. It is expected to be completed and put into operation in January 2026.

Cat Bi International Airport is one of the important international airports in Vietnam, playing a significant role in the socio-economic development strategy of Hai Phong City, the Northern coastal region, and the Red River Delta. Hai Phong is currently experiencing rapid growth, attracting a large number of investors, and witnessing an increasing trend in air cargo transportation of high-tech goods. As a result, there is an urgent need for cargo services linked to air logistics.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Duc Tho, Vice Chairman of Hai Phong City People’s Committee, emphasized that this important event marks a good beginning for the Vietnam Airports Corporation to continue expediting the implementation of projects such as the construction of Terminal T2 and the expansion of aircraft parking lots. These projects are in line with the Prime Minister’s goals and decisions on the development of air transport infrastructure and contribute to the successful realization of Resolution 45 of the Politburo on building and developing Hai Phong City by 2030, with a vision towards 2045.

The leadership of Hai Phong City People’s Committee pledged to provide regular support and create favorable conditions, as well as promptly address any procedural issues and obstacles that may arise during the investment process for projects in Hai Phong, including those of the Vietnam Airports Corporation. This will ensure that the projects are implemented, completed, and put into operation on schedule and in a cost-effective manner.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Tho requested that the Vietnam Airports Corporation instruct the contractors to focus their resources and diligently carry out the construction of the project’s components, ensuring technical requirements, quality, and progress. He also emphasized the importance of complying with environmental protection and fire prevention and control regulations as stipulated by the current law. Furthermore, he urged the city’s departments, sectors, and relevant units, as well as the People’s Committee of Hai An district, to closely monitor the project’s progress and provide the most favorable conditions and swift resolution of any procedural issues and obstacles that may arise during the investment and construction process.
