The Prime Minister requested that it is necessary to study the route direction, connection plan, and build the fastest, most direct, most beautiful, and most effective route connecting Gia Binh airport with the center of Hanoi.
On the evening of February 23, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting with ministries, branches and localities on the investment project to build Gia Binh airport (Bac Ninh) and the road connecting Gia Binh airport with the capital Hanoi.
Attending the meeting were: Politburo member, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Bui Thi Minh Hoai; Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha; leaders of relevant ministries, branches and leaders of provinces and cities: Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and a number of economic groups.
Implementing Decision No. 98/QD-TTg, dated September 17, 2024 of the Prime Minister on investment in the construction of Gia Binh airport, on December 10, 2024, Gia Binh airport was started to be built in the direction of multi-purpose, dual-use, with the function of a specialized airport equivalent to level 4E.
This is a national key project, playing a particularly important role in the system of national defense-security and socio-economic development projects.
It is expected that when completed, the airport will serve the training and combat readiness missions of the People's Public Security Air Force, reserve for the flight operations of the Air Defense - Air Force Service (Ministry of National Defense), reserve for airports and airfields in the region in case of emergency. At the same time, it will ensure the operation of special flights serving Party and State leaders, international politicians on large fixed-wing aircraft; transport goods and passengers when required and qualified.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested agencies to research and develop a road connecting Gia Binh airport with Hanoi capital, and to have a plan for this route by June 2025 at the latest. Implementing the Prime Minister's direction, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport, Hanoi city, and Bac Ninh province have focused on researching and developing investment projects to build Gia Binh airport (Bac Ninh), a road connecting Gia Binh airport with Hanoi capital, and a logistics center in the airport area.
After representatives of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport, Hanoi City, Bac Ninh Province and other delegates reported, discussed and concluded the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that the Southeast and the Red River Delta are the driving forces of the country's growth. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are the centers of the growth poles.
In addition to Tan Son Nhat Airport, the Southeast region is also building Long Thanh Airport at a very rapid pace. Traffic projects connecting Long Thanh Airport with Tan Son Nhat Airport are being promoted, thereby solving an important step in the traffic problem in Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeast.
In the Red River Delta - the dynamic, growth pole of the North with Hanoi as the center, there is currently only one large airport, Noi Bai. Recently, construction of an additional terminal has begun, but with the current growth rate, it is still overloaded. Therefore, the requirement is to have another dual-use airport to serve both national security and defense and socio-economic development, reducing the load on Noi Bai airport.
Affirming that, along with the implementation of phase 1, the planning and construction of Gia Binh airport of international stature, level 4E, has a very clear practical, political and legal basis. The Prime Minister requested to continue researching and implementing phase 2 immediately while phase 1 is being built, doing it while "ready to dodge" to save time, effort and resources, and prevent waste. In particular, it is necessary to study the route, connection plan, and build the fastest, most direct, most beautiful and most effective connecting route between Gia Binh airport and the center of Hanoi.
The Prime Minister requested that this route be completed within no more than two years, stating that this is also an important project to promote the country's image to international friends and partners, call for investment and attract tourism; at the same time, build and develop a logistics center at the airport in a modern, smart direction, and develop e-commerce.
The Prime Minister emphasized that all the above-mentioned tasks must be done quickly, promptly, effectively, and at the lowest cost. There are some shortcuts that need to be taken, and what the law allows must be implemented in accordance with regulations. At the same time, research and propose the addition of some special and specific mechanisms. The authority of each level must be decided by that level; the spirit is to do it quickly but ensure quality, safety, ensure a bright, clean, green environment, and achieve the set goals as directed by General Secretary To Lam./.
