To ensure the joint and synchronous exploitation of the entire Long Thanh International Airport Project Phase 1, ACV requests ministries, departments and branches to accelerate the implementation of Component Projects 4. In particular, priority is given to projects directly related to the exploitation activities of Long Thanh International Airport such as cargo terminal No. 2, express cargo terminal, cargo warehouse No. 1, aircraft catering area, ground service vehicle maintenance area, aircraft maintenance and cleaning area.
According to ACV, when completed, Long Thanh International Airport will have a traffic volume of 80% of international passengers traveling to and from Ho Chi Minh City, so the expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh Expressway is one of the important factors for Long Thanh International Airport to be put into operation and operate effectively. ACV recommends that the Government pay attention to directing the acceleration of the project to expand the expressway connecting Long Thanh International Airport with Ho Chi Minh City to ensure the effectiveness of the project when put into operation.
ACV also proposed to build runway No. 2 and level terminal T3 to minimize environmental pollution when the airport comes into operation.
