During a recent review conference of ACV’s performance over the first 10 months of the year, the ACV leadership reported that passenger and cargo throughput at airports under its management has continued to grow steadily. Domestic market figures show a slight decrease, while the international market experienced solid growth.
Specifically, over the past 10 months, aircraft movements across ACV-managed airports totaled over 555,000, reaching 79% of the annual target but showing an 8% decrease compared to the same period in 2023.
International flights extracted for nearly 213,000 takeoffs and landings, a 19% increase year-on-year, while domestic flights dropped by 19%, totaling nearly 343,000 movements.
Total passenger volume exceeded 91.4 million, achieving 80% of the yearly target and a 5% decrease compared to the same period in 2023. International passenger volume reached nearly 34 million, marking a 28% increase, while domestic passenger volume dropped by 17% to over 57.6 million.
Notably, ACV announced that the equipment installation and testing for cashless toll collection at Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai, Da Nang, Cat Bi, and Phu Bai airports have been completed, and the system is expected to go live from early November. Additionally, ACV is making progress on network infrastructure projects at 21 airports to facilitate online check-in for domestic airlines.
Concerning major projects, ACV’s leadership confirmed their commitment to fulfill the directives from the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers, and the State Capital Management Committee on ensuring the timely delivery of key infrastructure projects.
These include the construction of Terminal T3 at Tan Son Nhat Airport, the first phase of Long Thanh Airport, and the expansion of Terminal T2 at Noi Bai Airport, all of which meet the required standards for schedule, quality, and on-site safety. Certain tasks have even surpassed the contracted schedule, with bidding and contractor selection conducted transparently in accordance with legal regulations.
Looking forward, ACV plans to expand Ca Mau Airport to accommodate A320, A321, and similar aircraft types. The expansion will include a new runway, connecting taxiways, and an upgraded terminal with a capacity of 500,000 passengers per year (with potential scalability up to 1 million passengers per year).
ACV also aims to implement additional support infrastructure, including roads connecting the new aircraft apron to the terminal, parking facilities, a fire station, security fencing, and a ring road system. The project has an estimated investment of around VND 2,400 billion and an 18-month timeline upon receiving government approval for land use.
