Work has advanced significantly across the passenger terminal, with several key components now largely completed. These include the skylight roofing system, customs processing areas, baggage handling facilities, check-in islands, and the automated aircraft docking guidance system.
Outside the terminal, construction teams were working through the midday heat, compacting road surfaces and laying asphalt across multiple routes. The work is gradually completing the airport's internal road network. Meanwhile, the airport's fire station is also taking shape, with roofing and technical components being progressively installed.
Ha Ngoc Dat, a worker employed by contractor Nam Hoa Phat and responsible for installing roller shutters, said he had been working at the construction site for more than a year.
"During public holidays and Tet, we are often asked to remain on site and continue working," Dat said. "We want to do our part to help keep the overall project on schedule."
The Long Thanh Airport Project Management Board has instructed contractors and supervision consultants to step up construction activities during weekends and public holidays.
For the National Day holiday in particular, contractors have been required to prepare detailed construction plans specifying the work packages to be carried out, implementation schedules, staffing levels, and the machinery and equipment to be mobilized.
The plans must also include measures to ensure occupational safety, site security, and environmental protection throughout the holiday period.
