According to the Ministry of Construction, according to the general planning of Ho Chi Minh City until 2040, with a vision to 2060, there are 2 railway lines. Of which, urban railway line No. 6 connects Tan Son Nhat International Airport with Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway (Phu Huu intersection), then shares the infrastructure of Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line to connect to Long Thanh International Airport.
Urban railway line No. 2 connects from Tan Son Nhat International Airport to Thu Thiem station, then shares the infrastructure of the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line to connect to Long Thanh International Airport.
Currently, the HCMC planning has determined that urban railway lines No. 6 and No. 2 are invested by the HCMC People's Committee; the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh route is the urban railway line that is being assigned to the Ministry of Construction for investment.
According to the Ministry of Construction, in order to soon deploy the connection between Tan Son Nhat and Long Thanh International Airports, ensure consistency and synchronization in construction, operation and maximum exploitation of land funds around the project area, increasing the initiative of localities in project implementation.
The Ministry of Construction proposed that the Prime Minister agree in principle to assign the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee as the competent authority to invest in the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh urban railway project.
In case of being assigned as the competent authority, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee will receive all existing research results of the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh urban railway project (currently implemented by the Railway Project Management Board - Ministry of Construction) to continue to deploy investment preparation and implementation.
