The simultaneous commencement of major components in the Long Thanh International Airport project and Passenger Terminal 3 - Tan Son Nhat International Airport holds special significance for the development of Vietnam's aviation industry. Upon completion and putting into operation, these projects will establish a robust and contemporary airport cluster, positioning it as one of the prominent aviation hubs in the region. This development will greatly enhance the competitiveness of Vietnam's aviation industry as it progresses towards international integration. Furthermore, they contribute to the successful implementation of the strategic breakthrough in transportation infrastructure, as outlined in the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.
