So far, Dong Nai has handed over 2,000 hectares for the construction of first phase of the project.

To implement the Long Thanh International Airport project, the province has to conduct site clearance of some 5,000 hectares of land. Under commitment, Dong Nai will have to hand over 2,532 hectares of land for the project by late this year. In quarter 2 of 2022, the province will have to hand over the whole land for the project.

Covering a total area of more than 5,580 hectares, the airport will be located in six communes in Long Thanh District in Dong Nai Province. The airport’s total investment is 336.63 trillion VND (14.47 billion USD), with construction divided into three phases. 

In the first phase, a runway and one passenger terminal along with other supporting works will be built at a cost of 109.112 trillion VND to serve 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tonnes of cargo each year.

Construction for the project started in 2021. Once completed by 2050, the airport will be able to handle 100 million passengers and 5 million tonnes of cargo annually.
