The procedures have been prepared by the People's Committee of Ca Mau province to be presented at the thematic meeting of the Provincial People's Council scheduled to be held on November 11.
According to the report of the People's Committee of Ca Mau province, the current status of Ca Mau Airport land has been granted a Certificate of Land Use Rights with an area of 42.8 hectares. To expand and upgrade, it is necessary to carry out site clearance to create a clean land fund to implement land allocation for the expansion beyond the existing land area that has been granted a Certificate of Land Use Rights.
The project requires the acquisition of an area of approximately 105.53 hectares. Of which, the expansion area to implement the Ca Mau Airport expansion and upgrade project is approximately 101.41 hectares.
The project also needs to clear the land for the Control Tower and DVOR/DME Station projects (implemented by Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation - VATM) of about 3.62 hectares; clear the land along the Hoang Van Thu road (120 m section cutting through the approach lighting system at the beginning of the runway) of about 0.32 hectares; clear the land between the planning of Ca Mau Airport (Control Tower area) and the road connecting the National Highway 1 bypass with Ring Road 2, Ca Mau City of about 0.18 hectares.
To clear the land and arrange resettlement, about 863 billion VND from the provincial budget is needed. In 2024, carry out investment procedures; measure and count; develop compensation, support and resettlement plans. In 2025, carry out compensation, support and resettlement; hand over construction sites and carry out settlement of investment capital for completed projects.
Previously, on June 28, 2024, the Minister of Transport issued Decision No. 791/QD-BGVT approving the Ca Mau Airport Planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050.
According to the plan, Ca Mau Airport is a domestic airport, shared by civil and military use; planned as a 4C airport and a level II military airport; in the 2021-2030 period, a new runway measuring 2,400 x 45 m will be invested in, along with an infrastructure system ensuring the scale of a 4C airport, operating aircraft types such as A320/A321 and equivalent, with a capacity of about 1 million passengers/year and 1,000 tons of cargo/year.
Vision to 2050 continues to complete the infrastructure system, increasing capacity to about 3 million passengers/year and 3,000 tons of cargo/year. Land use planning for the period 2021-2030 is about 184.22 hectares; vision to 2050 is about 244.43 hectares.
On October 15, 2024, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1188/QD-TTg approving the investment policy of the Ca Mau Airport expansion and upgrade project.
According to the decision, the total project implementation cost is about VND 2,400 billion (excluding site clearance costs), using 100% of ACV's equity; the project implementation progress is 18 months from the date the State allocates land.
