The package, worth more than VND9 trillion ($378.5 million), will be undertaken by a consortium of six Vietnamese companies, namely Hanoi Construction Corp, No. 1 Construction Corp, Corporation 319 under the Ministry of Defense, Truong Son Construction Corp, Ricons JSC, and Luu Nguyen Construction Ltd.
The consortium will sign the package contract this month to promptly start work, ACV said.
Among the six companies, Hanoi Construction Corp, No. 1 Construction Corp and Ricons are part of a consortium called Vietur, identified by ACV as the only bidder that met all technical qualifications and therefore qualified to bid in upcoming rounds for the under-construction Long Thanh International Airport’s passenger terminal.
At Tan Son Nhat Airport, the T3 construction and equipment installation package will be carried out over 600 days, starting when ACV breaks ground for the package and makes the cleared site available to the contractor. T3 is set to begin serving passengers in 2025.
Construction of the third passenger terminal began on December 24, 2022, with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attending the ground-breaking ceremony. Its foundations have been completed. The entire construction is expected to take 37 months, according to ACV.
Once completed, T3 will handle domestic flights and up to 20 million passengers annually.
Tan Son Nhat has two terminals now, with T1 serving domestic flights and T2 handling international flights. T1 can serve 15 million passengers a year while the T2 capacity is 10 million per annum.
