Long Thành Airport is scheduled to begin commercial operations in December 2026, with many key components now nearing completion. In late September, construction teams are focusing on completing the central section and western wing of the passenger terminal. Trials are under way on escalators, baggage handling systems, security scanners and runway lights, alongside a simulated fuel leak drill.
