The airport will be built in three phases over three decades, and is expected to
become the country’s largest airport.
In the first phase, one runway with a length of 4,000m, taxiways, an apron, and
a passenger terminal with other auxiliary works sprawling 373,000 sq.m will be
built to serve 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tonnes of cargo each year.
The airport is designed to have four runways, four passenger terminals, and
other auxiliary facilities to ensure a capacity of 100 million passengers and 5
million tonnes of cargo a year by 2040.
Covering a total area of more than 5,580ha, the airport will straddle six
communes in Long Thanh district. It is expected to cost 336.63 trillion VND
(14.5 billion USD), with the first phase needing over 109 trillion VND.
Around 4,800 households and 26 organisations are expected to be relocated to
make way for it.
Located 40km to the east of Ho Chi Minh City, Long Thanh airport is expected to
relieve overloading at Tan Son Nhat international airport in the southern
metropolis, now the country’s largest airport.
