ĐỒNG NAI – Most owners of land to be acquired for Long Thành Airport in Đồng Nai Province, 40km away from HCM City, want the airport to be completed at the earliest so that they can move out soon to new residential areas earmarked for them.

Ngô Thế Ân, chairman of the Long Thành District People’s Committee, said during meetings between residents and parliamentary candidates and Government working groups, the former expressed support for the airport but grumbled about the fact it has been delayed by over 15 years.

According to the provincial authorities, land acquisition for the airport will be divided into two phases, with the total cost reaching VNĐ13 trillion (US$583 million).

According to a report from the provincial administration, 4,730 households with nearly 15,000 members in the communes of Bình Sơn, Suối Trầu, Cẩm Đường, Bàu Cạn, Long An, and Long Phước will be affected.

In the first stage, 2,557ha of land in Bình Sơn, Long An, Suối Trầu, and Cẩm Đường will be taken over, affecting over 1,800 households in these communes, including 1,000 households having to move from their homes. Total compensation of over VNĐ5 trillion will be paid.

Over 2,442ha will be acquired in the second stage, affecting 2,922 families, of whom over 2,500 have to move out. Compensation of over VNĐ8 trillion will be paid.

Đồng Nai authorities will build two new residential areas -- Lộc An-Bình Sơn (over 282ha) and Bình Sơn (over 282ha) -- north of Long Thành International Airport—VNS
