Long Thanh urban area is envisioned as an urban hub closely linked with Long Thanh Airport, serving as a national gateway to the international community
Earlier, the Prime Minister assigned the construction ministry and ACV to research and propose the implementation of the third runway, reporting to the PM in August 2025.
The Airports Corporation of Vietnam will recruit 1,400 specialized personnel for positions such as operations engineers, maintenance and repair technicians for electrical, electronics–telecommunications, mechanical–automation equipment, and chemical analysis engineers.
To achieve this goal, the Prime Minister has mandated a management approach based on "clear roles, clear tasks, clear outcomes, clear responsibilities, clear deadlines, and clear authority."
The project targets the central section running through Long Thanh Commune, a vital traffic artery that will provide a direct link to the planned Long Thanh airport urban area.
Vietnam's largest airport project to date holds exceptional importance for the socio-economic development of the Southeast region and the entire country.
