Over 3,200 workers are also working through the holiday on other project components, including internal transportation, technical infrastructure, fuel systems, the reservoir, power supply, and the cargo terminal. ACV stated that all components are scheduled for completion by the end of this year.

The investor has also deployed sufficient on-site personnel for supervision to ensure safe and high-quality construction.
The Long Thanh airport project, a national key project, covers an area of 5,000 hectares with a total investment of nearly 336,630 trillion VND. Upon completion of all three phases, the airport will have a capacity of 100 million passengers and 5 million tons of cargo annually. Phase one, scheduled to open in 2026, is expected to handle 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of cargo each year.
The Prime Minister has urged all parties to accelerate progress, aiming for the airport's inauguration on 19/12/2025.
