According to the reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, although the Long Thanh International Airport Project (abbreviated as Long Thanh Airport Project) is currently in the rainy season, thousands of officers, engineers and workers are still urgently constructing to ensure progress at the component projects.
For component project 2 - "Flight management works" in phase 1 of the Long Thanh airport project, according to Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM), on July 20, this unit completed the demolition of the air traffic control tower at an altitude of +123m, an important technical milestone.
This item not only marks the completion of the reinforced concrete structure of the project, but also creates a solid foundation for the installation of a ground monitoring radar system (SMR), a particularly important equipment in flight operations.
According to VATM, the 123m high air traffic control tower is the tallest project in the Long Thanh airport area, ensuring coverage of all ground clearance such as runways, taxiways and parking lots. In addition, the arrangement of SMR radar at this location helps to minimize blind spots caused by works, vehicles or obstacles, contributing to improving the effectiveness of monitoring and operation in the air.
The completion of the air traffic control tower is an important step in the roadmap to build modern flight management infrastructure at Long Thanh airport. This project will be the main flight operation center, helping to ensure safety, order and efficiency in the airspace of the area.
In the coming time, the project will continue to be implemented with preparations to install equipment, especially meteorological, radar, transmission and power systems to be ready for completion.

At the entire Long Thanh airport project site, units are still maintaining the construction progress with hundreds of deployment teams, mobilizing nearly 13,000 experts, engineers, workers, laborers and nearly 3,000 construction equipment to speed up the progress of the packages with the goal of basically completing the project by the end of 2025, putting it into operation and commercial exploitation in the first half of 2026 in accordance with the Prime Minister's request.
