Vietnam’s Masterise Group has established a wholly-owned aviation infrastructure company with charter capital of VND29.3 trillion dong ($1.12 billion), according to its corporate registration data.

The move comes as the private group has been selected by the Government and the Ministry of Public Security as the investor for the Gia Binh International Airport project.

The new company, Masterise Aviation Infrastructure Co., Ltd., is registered to operate in 61 business lines, with its core activity being services directly supporting air transport.

It is headquartered in Bac Giang ward, Bac Ninh province. CEO and legal representative is Vu Hoang Long, born in 1982, who has extensive experience in the aviation sector.

Long previously served as a board member at Tan Son Nhat Airport Services JSC (Sasco) and Cam Ranh International Terminal JSC (CRTC). Since November 2024, he has been CEO of Long Son Petroleum Industrial Zone Investment JSC and was elected to the company’s board in June 2025.

The National Assembly on December 11 approved an investment plan for the Gia Binh International Airport project, which will cost about VND196.38 trillion ($7.45 billion) to meet international standards, including 5-star service.

The airport, located in Bac Ninh province and about 40 km from central Hanoi, is expected to handle 30 million passengers and 1.6 million tons of cargo annually by 2030. The figures by 2050 will be 50 million passengers and 2.5 million tons.

The development will be carried out in two phases. In phase 1, from now to 2027, essential facilities will be completed to serve the APEC Summit in 2027. From 2026-2030, remaining phase 1 works will be finalized to ensure full operational capacity of 30 million passengers and 1.6 million tons of cargo per year.

For phase 2, from 2031-2050, construction will focus on expanding capacity to 50 million passengers and 2.5 million tons of cargo annually.

The project will require about 1,885 hectares of land, including 922 hectares currently used for two-crop rice farming.
