The Government Office has just issued Official Dispatch No. 774/VPCP – CN to the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Planning and Investment regarding the implementation of investment in the Bien Hoa Airport Project.

In this document, implementing the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha. The Government Office requests the Ministry of Transport to base on the provisions of the Law on Investment under the PPP method, clearly recommend the assignment of the People's Committee of Dong Nai province as the competent authority to implement the Project in accordance with Resolution No. 154/NQ-CP dated November 23, 2022 of the Government as a basis for the People's Committee of Dong Nai province to immediately implement investment procedures, report to the Prime Minister before February 20, 2024; coordinate with the People's Committee of Dong Nai province during the implementation process to ensure compliance with regulations and assigned tasks.

The Ministry of Planning and Investment, in its role as the state management agency for investment under the PPP method, is assigned to give opinions on assigning the People's Committee of Dong Nai province as the competent authority to implement the Project in accordance with the provisions of law, and send them to the Government Office before January 20, 2024 for synthesis and reporting to the Prime Minister.

Previously, in October 2023, the People's Committee of Dong Nai province sent an official dispatch to the Prime Minister proposing to assign this locality as the competent state agency to implement the investment project of Bien Hoa Airport.

In Official Dispatch No. 464/VPCP – CN sent to the Government Office in January 2024, the Ministry of Transport stated that the Law on Investment under the PPP method stipulates that airport business can apply the PPP method for investment and exploitation (Point a, Clause 1, Article 4 and Clause 1, Article 2, Decree No. 35/2021/ND-CP dated March 29, 2021 of the Government).

In the case of investment in the construction of a new airport such as Bien Hoa Airport, the authority to decide on the investment policy belongs to the Prime Minister (Point c, Clause 2, Article 12). Regarding the competent authority to implement the project, the Law on Investment under the PPP method also stipulates that the competent authority includes the Ministry or the Provincial People's Committee (Clause 1, Article 5); in case the project is under the management of many competent authorities or in case of change of competent authority, these agencies shall report to the Prime Minister to decide to assign one agency as the competent authority (Clause 3, Article 5).

Thus, the authority to consider and assign the People's Committee of Dong Nai province as the competent authority to implement the project to build a new Bien Hoa Airport under the PPP method belongs to the Prime Minister.

In the context of difficulties in state budget capital for infrastructure investment, the Ministry of Transport supports the policy of assigning the People's Committee of Dong Nai province as the competent authority to study the plan to mobilize resources to invest in the construction of a new Bien Hoa Airport under the PPP method.

In the immediate future, it is recommended that the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee direct agencies and units to closely coordinate with the Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam to establish and approve the Bien Hoa Airport planning as a basis for researching appropriate investment options.
