Bechtel show interest in Long Thanh airport

Following the approval by the Vietnam National Assembly for construction of a huge new USD16 billion airport in Long Thanh outside Ho Chi Minh City in 2015, leading US engineering firm Bechtel visited Vietnam in December to gain more information about the plan.

The visit sparked speculation that Bechtel is considering taking an equity stake in the project, as well as acting as its project manager.

Work on the 5sq-km airport is scheduled to begin in 2019 with phase I completing a single-runway 25 million passenger-capacity facility by 2025. Phase II, completed by 2035, will double passenger capacity to 50 million and phase III will double it again to 100 million by 2050.
