MPS holds groundbreaking ceremony for Gia Binh International Airport project

Member of the Politburo, Secretary of the Public Security Central Party Committee and Minister of Public Security General Luong Tam Quang chaired the ceremony. 

The event was also attended by Member of the Party Central Committee and Deputy Minister of National Defence Senior Lieutenant General Hoang Xuan Chien; Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Bac Ninh Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Van Gau; and Deputy Minister of Public Security Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Ngoc Lam.

Gia Binh International Airport is a national key project, which has a specially important position in the overall national airport master plan. 

As a strategic dual-use airport for the Capital Region, the facility will expand development space for Bac Ninh and other northern provinces, helping them become a new driving force for economic growth.

In addition to its civil aviation, Gia Binh International Airport will also be the base of the People’s Public Security Air Regiment, equipped with modern aircraft to ensure permanent combat readiness, contributing to enhancing national defense and security capabilities.

Addressing the ceremony, Minister Luong Tam Quang pledged that the Ministry of Public Security will work closely with ministries, sectors, Bac Ninh province and investors to ensure that the project is completed as scheduled, meeting all the safety and quality standards. 

He also assured that Gia Binh International Airport will be put into operation by the end of 2026, and ready to serve the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in 2027.

The Minister also proposed that the Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee coordinate with involved ministries in implementing surrounding transportation infrastructure projects, particularly the road connecting the airport to Hanoi, which must all be completed by the end of 2026 as directed by the Prime Minister. 

He emphasized that the airport’s operational efficiency will contribute significantly to the country’s socio-economic development.
