Long Thanh International Airport is a Vietnam key project's international airport currently under construction in Long Thanh, Dong Nai province in Vietnam. Located approximately 40 km (25 mi) east of Ho Chi Minh City, it has been approved to start construction by the Vietnamese government on April 1, 2021. However, the Vietnamese government has decided to begin 2 years earlier in 2019 and it will be finished by 2025. It will serve over 100 million passengers annually when built to the maximum designed capacity.

Airports Corporation of Vietnam - JSC (ACV) reported that the construction of the Long Thanh International Airport is expected to start May 2021 and finish late 2025.

Lai Xuan Thanh, chairman of the Airports Corporation of Vietnam, said that after carrying out the appraisal process, the Ministry of Planning and Investment will submit a feasibility study on the airport to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc for approval this month. It is expected that the Prime Minister will approve the project in May, Thanh said.

"In case we are assigned to be the project investor, we will select technical design consultants and begin construction of next May," he added.

The state-owned ACV, which operates 21 airports, is committed to making every effort to complete the project by 2025, Thanh said.

According to the latest report from Dong Nai, the province has completed payment and disbursement for the priority site clearance for serving the first phase of construction (1,810 hectares). It has paid compensation to the Dong Nai Rubber Corporation and could hand over the site right in the third quarter of 2020.
