The Provincial People's Committee has assigned the Department of Construction to lead the bidding process for investor selection and oversee the project's implementation. Other relevant departments and agencies will collaborate on procedures concerning land, environment, finance, and national defense-security.
Phan Thiet Airport is a dual-use facility, combining military and civilian functions, originally planned in 2013 with a total area exceeding 543 hectares. While the military components, overseen by the Ministry of National Defense, are complete, the civilian section previously experienced delays due to adjustments in scale and investment methods.
