- Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Gia Túc led a central inspection team to the Long Thành Airport construction site on 4 October, focusing on the passenger terminal, described as the "heart" of phase 1.
- The project comprises 16 main contract packages, with four already completed and the remaining under implementation, representing more than 80% of the contract value. Trial operations are scheduled for October–November, followed by commercial service planned for December 2026. The T1 road linking Terminal 1 to the Biên Hòa‑Vũng Tàu highway, National Route 51 and 25C has been in use for about a year, while a 22‑km extension of the Ho Chi Minh City–Long Thành–Da Giay highway, costing roughly 15 trillion VND, began on 19 August 2025 and is expected to finish in December 2026, alongside a new single‑span five‑lane Long Thành bridge.
