This achievement is a result of relentless efforts by the investor – Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV), the Long Thanh International Airport Project Management Board, and the contractor consortium, who mobilized 1,025 personnel and 243 units of equipment, simultaneously deploying 30 construction teams to complete the installation of all equipment, ensuring stable and safe operations.
