Bid package for Long Thanh Airport terminal canceled, bidding to recommence
The Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) has canceled the bid package for Long Thanh International Airport's passenger terminal because no bids met the necessary requirements, with rebidding to soon commence.
The VND35,233 billion ($1.49 billion) package includes the design of drawings, construction, and equipment installation for the terminal in the southern province of Dong Nai.

When ACV held a pre-bid conference to introduce the package, it attracted almost 10 contractors from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. However, by the time of bid closing on November 8, 2022, only one had submitted a bid.
ACV said it would organize a rebidding for this package, and the process would take an additional 45 days.
The first flight is set to be launched at the Long Thanh airport on September 2, 2025, National Day, according to the Ministry of Transport
The ministry noted that the first phase of the airport project has yet to meet the land allocation requirements and asked relevant sides, including the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), registered on the unlisted public company market UPCoM as ACV, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) to cooperate in acquiring land for the project.
The airport, which is about 40 kilometers to the east of Ho Chi Minh City, has an annual designed capacity of 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of cargo in the first phase.
Upon full completion in 2050, the 5,580-hectare airport will serve 100 million passengers and handle five million tons of cargo yearly.
The airport, which is set to become the biggest in Vietnam, aims to reduce the overload at HCMC-based Tan Son Nhat International Airport. The investment for the first phase is VND109,000 billion ($4.63 billion).
