The country’s top leaders have made resolutions on this target for the project in Dong Nai province, with roughly $5 billion estimated for the first phase’s investment.
June 30, 2022 is the deadline for site clearance completion, Thanh stated in a release on Wednesday. His conclusions also included a target of starting work on a runway and one passenger terminal in the fourth quarter of this year.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, during his working visit to the project on February 6, 2022, requested higher determination and stronger performance from relevant ministries, sectors, and agencies in the construction of the major airport.
Long Thanh airport, about 40 kilometers to the east of HCMC, will help relieve overload at the southern economic hub’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport. It is designed to receive 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of cargo each year in the first phase.
The whole project will cover more than 5,580 hectares across up to six communes in Long Thanh district. Once fully completed by 2050, it would be able to handle 100 million passengers and five million tons of cargo annually.
