Urging the construction progress of Phan Thiet airport

On the afternoon of February 11, Senior Lieutenant General Tran Don, member of the Party Central Committee and Deputy Minister of National Defense, inspected the Phan Thiet airport project (Thien Nghiep commune, Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan).

At the meeting, Binh Thuan Department of Transport said that it has handed over more than 500 hectares of land to the Ministry of National Defense for more than 2 years now, but the progress of the project is currently very slow, making local people quite upset.

Speaking at the meeting, Senior Lieutenant General Tran Don said that upgrading Phan Thiet airport to Phan Thiet airport and from level 4C to 4E is completely suitable for long-term development.

This is a civil airport but also a military airport. The Ministry of National Defense will move the entire flight training school of the 920th Air Defense - Air Force Regiment from Cam Ranh to Phan Thiet, because the current Cam Ranh training school is cramped and cannot ensure training.

The General said that the progress of the Phan Thiet airport project is very slow due to many reasons. Therefore, units of the Ministry of National Defense and the People's Committee of Binh Thuan province must urge the progress to be faster.

“Binh Thuan needs to quickly compensate for the reserve area to build the second runway of the airport and the battlefield area. After receiving approval from the Prime Minister, the Ministry of National Defense can immediately start construction of these items in parallel with the investor of the civil area,” Senior Lieutenant General Tran Don suggested.

Will discuss Nha Trang airport land auction

In addition, Senior Lieutenant General Tran Don said that next week, the leaders of the Ministry of National Defense will have a meeting with the leaders of Khanh Hoa province to discuss the auction of land at Nha Trang airport according to the Prime Minister's decision to raise funds to build the military zone of Phan Thiet airport.

Deputy Minister Tran Don requested the People's Committee of Binh Thuan province to immediately establish a Working Group to coordinate with the Working Group of the Ministry of National Defense to further accelerate the progress of the Phan Thiet airport project.
