Vietnam is preparing to open Long Thanh International Airport, a $9.5 billion project near Ho Chi Minh City, set to become the country’s largest airport. Featuring an iconic lotus-shaped roof, the hub is designed to handle up to 100 million passengers annually. Scheduled to open in 2026, it will replace Tan Son Nhat as Vietnam’s main gateway, boosting tourism, connectivity, and positioning Vietnam as a key player in Southeast Asian aviation.
