Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has signed a Decision on establishing a Government task force directing the implementation of a projected road connecting Gia Binh airport in northern Bac Ninh province with the capital city of Hanoi.

The task force is headed by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha.

It is tasked to direct relevant ministries, agencies and localities to implement the project, and seek measures to deal with difficulties and obstacles hindering the project.

Construction of the dual-use Gia Binh Airport started on December 10, 2024 with an investment capital estimated at over VND4.43 trillion ($174.6 million).

Under the revised plan, the airport is expected to accommodate 5 million passengers by 2030 and handle 250,000 tons of cargo annually.

Earlier, the PM requested relevant ministries and agencies to submit a construction plan for the projected road in June this year.
