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.

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.

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.
