Vietnam Defense Ministry to Address 51-Year-Old Abandoned Airport Land Issue

Voters in Vietnam's Lam Dong province have brought attention to a significant issue: land allocated for an airport that has lain abandoned for over five decades. The concerns were formally submitted through the National Assembly's Committee for Delegate Affairs, which has now forwarded the matter to the Ministry of National Defense for review and action.

The land in question is designated for the Căng Êsepis airport, located in Tien Thanh commune. For 51 years, this area has reportedly been earmarked for aviation infrastructure but has seen no development. Constituents are seeking a clear plan for the management and utilization of this long-neglected state asset.

The Ministry of National Defense is expected to investigate the situation and propose a solution. The committee's action signifies the seriousness with which these constituent grievances are being treated, pushing for a resolution to the decades-long stagnation of the airport land. The outcome will likely involve decisions on whether to proceed with airport development, repurpose the land, or address any other land management issues.
