Long Thanh Airport Seeks 14,000 Workers as Project Nears Completion

The Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) has announced a significant recruitment drive, seeking to fill nearly 14,000 positions for the ambitious Long Thanh International Airport project. This massive undertaking, a national priority, is slated for partial operation by the end of 2026, marking a crucial step in Vietnam's infrastructure development.

The application window is narrow, running from April 16 to April 30, 2026, and targets a wide range of roles. From aviation safety specialists and quality control officers to ground equipment operators and firefighters, the project demands a diverse workforce. Candidates must meet general requirements such as Vietnamese citizenship, age limits (30-35 years), a clean record, high school graduation, and good communication skills, with specific qualifications varying by position.

This expansion is vital for Vietnam's growing economy and its aspirations to become a regional aviation hub. The sheer scale of employment opportunities underscores the project's importance not just for national development but also for the local economy in Dong Nai province. While international media might focus on the engineering marvel, for Vietnamese citizens, this represents a tangible opportunity for employment and a stake in the nation's future progress. The project's phased development aims to eventually handle 100 million passengers and 5 million tons of cargo annually, positioning Vietnam as a key player in global air travel.
