The work should be completed before April 30, 2025 to mark 50th anniversary of the National Reunification Day, he said.
Inspecting construction at the site on Feb. 12 (the third day of the first lunar month), Chinh asked contractors to re-schedule working progress, mobilize vehicles, equipment and human resources, improve construction to hasten the project, and work to ensure construction quality.
The PM also instructed the municipal authority and competent sides to join hands to smoothly roll out construction of supporting facilities, including transport connection with nearby areas and Long Thanh International Airport.
Being built at the total cost of VND11 trillion ($450.36 million), T3 will be the largest domestic passenger terminal with a capacity of 20 million passengers a year. It will be capable of handling 7,000 passengers per hour during peak hours and will accommodate all types of aircraft. It is designed to have four floors, one basement, 90 counters, 27 boarding gates and 25 security gates.
Bottlenecks were removed for the project, resulting in a modern terminal being shaped up after six month of construction.
According to the ACV, nearly 1,400 engineers and workers, 16 tower cranes, and equipment were dispatched to the construction site at peak time to ensure that the progress is in line with schedule.
Upon completion, the project is expected to relieve congestion at the country’s largest airport.
