Opening the session, General Secretary Tô Lâm stated, “Long Thành Airport symbolizes Vietnam’s development aspirations. Over time, the project has progressed well, with many components meeting deadlines.”
He emphasized, “Long Thành Airport is a national key project with significant investment and capacity. Upon completion, it is expected to position Vietnam as a leading aviation hub in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Designed as a green and smart airport, Long Thành reflects Vietnam’s vision for modern infrastructure development. It plays a crucial role in the nation’s three strategic pillars: institutions, infrastructure, and human resources. As a vital infrastructure project, it must be prioritized.
“Delays are unacceptable; every day lost is a setback for the nation,” the General Secretary stressed.
He urged agencies to address key issues, including the airport’s competitiveness on national, regional, and global scales. Learning from existing international airports, Vietnam must create a distinctive value proposition. The airport city and surrounding areas must be developed cohesively to maximize efficiency.
Additionally, the airport should embody Vietnamese identity through its architecture, smart operations, and passenger experience. With Long Thành as the focal point, surrounding areas should develop high-tech industries, tourism, and urban zones for seamless integration.
General Secretary Tô Lâm also emphasized the need for effective investment. The project must be executed with long-term vision, creating exceptional national value. Infrastructure connecting Long Thành Airport, particularly to Ho Chi Minh City, must be developed comprehensively to ensure project success. “Do it once, do it right, and meet regional standards,” he urged.
He called on relevant agencies, including the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), Ministry of Construction, and Ministry of Finance, to evaluate and quantify the project’s overall impact. Passenger satisfaction and attractiveness to international airlines should be key performance indicators.
“A modern airport succeeds when passengers want to visit, airlines want to operate, businesses want to invest, and the nation benefits,” the General Secretary concluded.
Spanning 5,000 hectares, the Long Thành Airport Project is estimated at VND 336.63 trillion (USD 16 billion). Upon Phase 1 completion, it will serve 25 million passengers and handle 1.2 million tons of cargo annually, alleviating pressure on Tân Sơn Nhất Airport and becoming a regional aviation hub.
