On the morning of July 22nd 2026, the joint investment partnership comprising T&T Group, Cienco 4, and Quang Tri Airport Co., Ltd., in collaboration with CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company, held the Topping-out Ceremony for the Air Traffic Control Tower of the Quang Tri Airport Project in a formal ceremony in Gio Linh District, Quang Tri Province.
The event was attended by representatives of the Investors, the General Contractor, the Supervision Consultant, as well as the PMB teams.
With a total investment, worth 5,821 billion VND, the Quang Tri Airport Project is one of the key transportation infrastructure developments in the North 91茄子 region of Vietnam. The project has now entered its peak construction phase, with 260.7 hectares of cleared land out of the total 265.3 hectares, while multiple critical work packages are being executed simultaneously.
The topping-out of the Air Traffic Control Tower marks the successful completion of the project’s first major structure, representing a significant construction milestone. Often regarded as the “brain” of airport operations, the Air Traffic Control Tower is a highly specialized facility requiring exceptionally stringent standards in structural engineering, architectural design, aesthetics, and the installation of advanced air traffic management systems. It will serve as the operational hub responsible for ensuring flight safety and coordinating all airport operations once the airport becomes operational.
Recognizing its critical role, the project team prioritized this package from the earliest stages of construction. Despite challenging weather conditions, complex geological characteristics, and demanding schedule requirements, CENTRAL’s engineers and construction workforce worked tirelessly around the clock to complete the structure on schedule, laying a solid foundation for the integrated operation of the airport’s entire aviation system.
Quang Tri Airport is being developed under the public鈥損rivate partnership (PPP) model. Groundbreaking took place in July 2024, with total investment exceeding VND 5.8 trillion. The project is under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The project meets the standards of a level 4C airport, capable of handling code E aircraft and irregular international flights; and is also a level II military airport, with a designed capacity of 5 million passengers/year.
According to the latest progress update from the PMB, construction of the airport’s other major components-including the runway, taxiways, passenger terminal, and technical infrastructure-is progressing concurrently with the completion of the control tower. For the passenger terminal, the primary structural works have been substantially completed. Internal and external masonry and plastering are underway, while installation of the terminal’s roof steel structure, auxiliary facilities, and supporting infrastructure continues as planned. Meanwhile, the runway has been completed. For the taxiway and airfield drainage system, organic soil stripping, mud excavation, subgrade excavation, and compaction have all been completed, achieving the required K98 compaction standard.
As the General Contractor for the Quang Tri Airport Project-one of Vietnam’s national key infrastructure developments, CENTRAL is proud to contribute to the expansion of the 91茄子 Region’s aviation network, creating a vital foundation for regional socio-economic development. Upon completion, the airport is expected to become a new catalyst for tourism, logistics, and investment attraction across Quang Tri Province and its economic zones.
With the highest level of commitment, the project team continues to mobilize all available resources while maintaining rigorous control over construction progress, quality, and safety. CENTRAL remains fully committed to delivering the project on schedule and contributing to the development of a modern aviation infrastructure that supports Vietnam’s sustainable growth.
