Reviewing the overall investment plan for Con Dao Airport

The Government Office has just issued Document No. 5843/VPCP-CN dated August 16, 2024 conveying the opinion of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on the investment plan for Con Dao Airport.

The document stated: Considering the proposal of the Ministry of Transport on the investment plan for Con Dao Airport, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha requested the Ministry of Transport to review the overall investment plan for Con Dao Airport to ensure synchronization and efficiency, avoid scattered investment and be consistent with the Project on orienting the mobilization of social capital for investment in airport infrastructure.

The Deputy Prime Minister requested that the proposed overall investment plan to call for, attract and implement investment projects must clearly state the legal basis, scientific basis, feasibility (investment progress, investment efficiency, suitability with scale and development orientation, suitability with planning...), which contents have ensured compliance with the direction of the Government's leaders on attracting investment under the PPP method (calling for full or partial PPP investment? Reasons? Assessment of feasibility and implementation progress).

The Ministry of Transport shall discuss and agree on the investment plan with the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province; report to the Prime Minister before August 20, 2024.

Previously, the Prime Minister approved the overall adjustment of the Con Dao Master Plan to 2045, in which the forecast of the number of tourists by 2030 is about 1-1.2 million visitors/year, and by 2045 about 1.7-2 million visitors/year.

With the above scale, the Ministry of Transport believes that by 2030, it is necessary to research and invest in building a new civil aviation area (passenger terminal, parking lot, synchronous technical infrastructure) with a capacity of about 2 million passengers/year, with an estimated investment cost of about 2.1 trillion VND.

The Ministry of Transport proposed that the Prime Minister direct the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province to study and develop a project to invest in a civil aviation area under the public-private partnership (PPP) method to promptly report to the Prime Minister for permission to implement, meeting the local air transport needs.

For airport projects, after completing the investment, the Ministry of Transport will hand over to the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province to hand over to the investor for management and exploitation according to the project contract.
