According to the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), construction of the passenger terminal has reached nearly 70% of the total contract value, while civil works alone are almost 80% complete.
The reinforced concrete structure, including the basement and four above-ground floors, along with the steel roof framework and roofing system, has been completed. Contractors are now focusing on installing the skylight roof, completing interior works and landscaping, with the goal of substantially finishing the terminal by September.

Terminal equipment, considered the most critical element for trial operations, is also making steady progress. Installation of the baggage handling system (BHS), steel floor structures and the ICS conveyor system has been completed. Contractors are now conducting inspections and functional tests before the system is put into operation.
For the checked baggage screening system, 52 of the 53 planned units have been delivered to the site, equivalent to 98% of the total. Ten explosive detection system (EDS) scanners have been installed and connected to the ICS conveyor system on the second floor, while all 19 customs baggage scanners for arriving passengers have been installed. Additional screening equipment is being installed at check-in islands on the third floor.
