(PLVN) - According to the Master Plan for the development of the national airport system for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050 (approved by Decision 648/QD-TTg dated June 7, 2023), along with the Ministry of Transport (before the merger - PV) deciding to add Gia Binh International Airport (Decision No. 142/QD - BGTVT), Vietnam aims to increase the total number of airports nationwide to 34 by 2050, including 15 international ports and 19 domestic ports.
The target by 2030 is that the total passenger volume through airports is expected to reach about 275.9 million passengers (accounting for 1.5 - 2% of the transport market share and 3 - 4% of the total inter-provincial passenger volume). Regarding goods, the expected figure is 4.1 million tons (accounting for 0.05 - 0.1% of the transport market share).
The construction of new airports is becoming an inevitable trend to meet the increasing transportation demand in the era of globalization. With the strong development of tourism, trade and international exchanges, airports not only play the role of transportation gateways but also act as a driving force for regional economies.
In particular, the Long Thanh International Airport Construction Investment Project with a total investment of more than 16 billion USD is a national key project, receiving close attention and direction from the Party, State and Government leaders. The project is divided into 3 phases: Phase 1 is expected to be put into operation in 2026 with an investment capital of 5.45 billion USD, reaching a capacity of 25 million passengers/year. Phase 2 will be implemented from 2028 - 2032, increasing the capacity to 50 million passengers/year. Phase 3 will begin after 2035, bringing the airport capacity to 100 million passengers/year and helping Long Thanh airport become the largest airport in Vietnam.

According to the Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV), the actual construction volume of Long Thanh airport is currently at about 30.4% of the contract value (more than 10,000 billion VND), with the goal of basically completing the construction part before December 2025. The air traffic control tower, considered the "brain" of the airport, has reached a height of 107.93m/123m, 2 months ahead of schedule and is currently completing the final items. The No. 1 runway, an important part of the Component 3 project, is also being accelerated with the goal of completion by April 30, 2025, 3 months earlier than the original plan.
In addition, the National Assembly has approved the policy of constructing runway No. 2 in phase 1, expected to be completed synchronously by the end of 2025 under the strong direction of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. The Prime Minister requested construction units to work in "3 shifts, 4 teams", making the most of the time to ensure completion before December 31, 2025, to celebrate major events of the country.
In addition to the Long Thanh International Airport Project, the picture of Vietnam's airports will have another national key project, which is the Gia Binh Airport Project (Bac Ninh). With the goal of building a multi-purpose, dual-use airport with the function of a specialized airport equivalent to level 4E, Gia Binh Airport plays a particularly important role in the system of national defense and security projects.

When completed, this airport will serve the training and combat readiness missions of the People's Public Security Air Force, reserve for 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; orient to ensure the operation of special flights serving Party and State leaders, international politicians on large fixed-wing aircraft; and transport goods and passengers when required and qualified.
In addition to the two projects mentioned above, in the Master Plan for the development of the national airport system for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, Phu Quoc International Airport is determined to expand to a capacity of 10 million passengers/year in the period 2021 - 2030. The vision to 2050 continues to expand to reach a capacity of 18 million passengers/year.
The investment in expanding Phu Quoc airport not only aims to reduce the load on the existing infrastructure but also creates a driving force to promote the local economy, especially the tourism and service industries. This is also part of the Government's long-term strategy to develop Phu Quoc into an international tourism center, competing with famous destinations in the region such as Bali or Phuket. With strong investment from the Government, Phu Quoc airport promises to become an important gateway, contributing to bringing the "pearl island" further on the world tourism map.
