Dong Nai (VNA) - Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company on August 19 held a groundbreaking ceremony for its aircraft maintenance centre (Hangars No. 3 and No. 4) at Long Thanh International Airport in the southern province of Dong Nai.
According to the airline, the centre covers an area of 8.4 hectares, with a total investment of nearly 1.7 trillion VND (64.6 million USD).
The facility is designed to meet international standards and can service up to 10 aircraft simultaneously, featuring a fully integrated technical infrastructure that complies with global aviation requirements.
Once operational, the project is expected to generate 500–600 high-quality jobs for engineers and technicians, while also contributing to the development of skilled human resources in the aviation sector.
At the ceremony, Nguyen Minh Hoi, member of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board and head of its Board for Internal Affairs, stated that the presence of this project not only contributes to completing the aviation service ecosystem at the airport, but also promotes the development of high-tech industries, enhances the quality of human resources, and creates sustainable growth momentum for Dong Nai and the surrounding region.
He emphasised that the project will become a “key link” in the aviation service value chain of the Long Thanh International Airport, attracting more domestic and foreign investors and gradually forming a modern, competitive air transit hub in the region and the world.
The official pledged to continue creating favourable conditions for the project’s timely, safe, and efficient implementation. He also committed to accompanying investors in building Long Thanh into a leading international aviation centre in the region, fulfilling the mission entrusted by the Party and Government./.
