Under the document, the sides will work together in on-site training in aviation, processing and producing materials and spare parts, and building training and maintenance facilities as well as workplace for staff and experts at the airport in the time ahead.
Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Son Hung asked the ACV and SAGS to provide specific information on the workforce demand when the airport is put into operation.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam estimated that the first phase of building and operating the airport will need some 14,000 workers at all levels in such areas as construction, transport, and aviation.
The airport, with a total capacity of 100 million passengers and 5 million tons of cargo a year, has a total investment of VND336.63 trillion (US$13.71 billion). It will be able to handle 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of goods a year after its first phase is completed in 2026.
