Authority proposes delaying Long Thanh airport catering, ground-handling projects

Detailed summary

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has proposed pushing the completion deadline for six service projects at Long Thanh International Airport to Dec. 24, the airport's scheduled opening day.

The CAAV asked the Ministry of Construction to approve the revised timeline for the projects, which fall under Component 4 of the airport's first phase in Dong Nai City.

Under contracts amended in June, contractors were required to finish construction on the six projects by Aug. 31.

But only two have reached the equipment installation stage: the No. 2 aviation catering facility and the No. 2 ground handling and vehicle maintenance center.

The remaining four projects have yet to complete basic construction. These include the No. 1 catering facility, the No. 1 ground handling center, and aircraft maintenance facilities No. 1, 3, and 4.
