Người Đô Thị đã trao đổi với PGS-TS. Nguyễn Thiện Tống, nguyên Chủ nhiệm bộ môn Kỹ thuật hàng không, Đại học Bách khoa TP.HCM – về câu chuyện quy hoạch tổng thể phát triển cảng hàng không, đặc biệt là câu hỏi: địa phương nào thật sự có nhu cầu về sân bay?
PGS-TS. Nguyễn Thiện Tống nói: “Cần phải có bảng tính toán về nhu cầu, tiềm năng hành khách của từng sân bay. Từ kết quả tính toán trị số nhu cầu bằng phương pháp của tôi, tôi thấy cần đưa vào quy hoạch các sân bay theo thứ tự ưu tiên lần lượt là Sơn La, Hà Giang, Lào Cai, Lai Châu, Cao Bằng, Phan Thiết, Bình Phước, Lạng Sơn, Yên Bái, Đắk Nông. Song song đó, nên đưa sân bay Quảng Trị ra khỏi quy hoạch”.
Phương pháp xây dựng quy hoạch thiếu khoa học, xa rời thực tế
Bản quy hoạch đã được điều chỉnh, cập nhật nhiều lần, ông nhận xét thế nào về cơ sở khoa học, điều kiện thực tế từng vùng và địa phương để làm căn cứ xây dựng đề án?
PGS-TS. Nguyễn Thiện Tống.
Quy hoạch tổng thể phát triển hệ thống sân bay toàn quốc của Bộ Giao thông – Vận tải (GTVT) đặt nền tảng trên một phương pháp tiếp cận sai lầm là xem xét từng tỉnh, thành riêng lẻ với giả định mỗi địa phương có một sân bay đáp ứng sản lượng phát sinh của địa phương đó, cộng với sản lượng thu hút từ các địa phương chung quanh.

The project has four component projects such as headquarters of State management agencies, flight management services, essential airport facilities, and other works.
Major works such as airport buildings, the aircraft apron, passenger terminals, and cargo terminals will be built by the Airport Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), which operates 21 airports across the country.
ACV has to raise funding for the construction.
The first phase of the airport, expected to cost more than US$4.6 billion, is projected to be completed by 2025.
The investment was approved by the National Assembly in 2017, which also issued a resolution on compensation and resettlement of and support for affected individuals and organisations.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc urged Dong Nai Province authorities to hand over the required lands in October so that construction of the airport could begin early next year.
He also set a deadline for assessing cleared land for compensation purposes by the end of this month.
The Ministry of Transport should work closely with the province to promptly resolve all challenges to ensure the project remains on schedule, he said.
The airport work requires more than 5,000ha of land and more than 364ha elsewhere to build two resettlement sites.
Around 4,800 households and 26 organisations are expected to be relocated to make way for it.
Spread over a total area of more than 5,580ha, the airport will straddle six communes in Long Thanh District. It is expected to cost VNĐ336.63 trillion ($14.47 billion), with the construction divided into three phases.
In the first phase one runway with a length of 4,000m, taxiways, an apron, and a passenger terminal with other auxiliary works involving a total floor area of 373,000 sq.m will be built to serve 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tonnes of cargo each year.
The airport is expected to have four runways, four passenger terminals and other auxiliary works to ensure a capacity of 100 million passengers and 5 million tonnes of cargo a year by 2040.

Vietnam Airlines is seeking an urgent VND12 trillion ($518 million) bailout from the government as the coronavirus continues to hit its revenues.
It is likely to report a loss of VND13 trillion ($561 million) this year, with revenues falling by half from last year to around VND50 trillion ($2.2 billion), CEO Duong Tri Thanh said at a meeting on Monday.
It has stopped all regular international flights since April when it operated only four domestic flights a day on average.
In June the number of passengers rose to 84 percent of the number a year earlier. “Since 1975 there has never been fewer flights in Vietnam’s skies,” he said, referring to the year the Vietnam War ended.
He expected the domestic market to recover to pre-pandemic levels only by the end of 2021, and the international market a year later.
Government advisors said at the meeting that other options to rescue the airline include issuing more shares to existing shareholders or allowing investment by sovereign fund State Capital Investment Corporation.
One of them, Nguyen Dinh Cung, said many other governments have bailed out airlines and Vietnam should do the same.
Thanh said Vietnam Airlines has taken up the issue of funding with All Nippon Airways, which owns a 8.6 percent stake in it, but since the Japanese carrier is also in trouble it cannot provide loans now.
In Vietnam, the aviation industry has been among the hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Airlines served 14.6 million passengers in the first six months, down 46 percent year-on-year, according to the General Statistics Office.
HANOI — Vietnam plans to freeze approval for new entries to the airline industry until 2022, a move that threatens to solidify the virtual duopoly already in place.
The chilled business climate caused by the novel coronavirus makes supporting existing airlines the top priority, Transport Minister Nguyen Van The said.
Currently five commercial airlines operate within Vietnam, but two top players dominate the market. With Australia’s Qantas Airways offloading its 30% stake in Jetstar Pacific, a joint venture with Vietnam Airlines, the state’s move to block additional competition has raised concerns about higher ticket prices.

Work began Monday on a 280 hectare resettlement area for the Long Thanh International Airport project, with residents set to receive their land lots in August.
The Loc An – Binh Son resettlement area, located in the southern province of Dong Nai, where the new airport is to be built, consists of over 5,000 land lots for 29,000 residents.
Dong Nai authorities will build roads, utilities, schools, markets, community centers and religious facilities before handling the land lots to residents to construct their own houses.
The first 700 households are set to receive their land lots in August.
This is the first of two resettlement areas that will be built for residents affected by the Long Thanh Airport project.
Does aviation industry develop too rapidly? Are flight tickets sold lower than cost prices? Why does authority continue to grant permission for new airlines enterprises while infrastructure is overloading? These were hot issues that received special attention at the talk ‘ Vietnam Aviation Industry: Opportunities and Challenges’ held by the Ministry of Transportation on December 11 in Hanoi.

Vietnam already supports five operating commercial airlines and a sixth is on the way. That’s because so many of the country’s newly minted middle class is literally going places.
Vietnam’s civil aviation authority estimates air passenger traffic will reach 131 million by 2020 following average growth of 16% last year and this year. By 2030, the authority expects 280 million civilian air trips per year.
“All the airplanes are full. The Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh trip is packed every day,” says Mike Lynch, managing director with SSI Institutional Brokerage in Ho Chi Minh City. “They put up airlines and they just fill right up.” Tiếp tục đọc “Why Vietnam Needs Six Airlines”→
The Hanoitimes– A Swedish state-owned entity proposed a commercial loan of over US$1 billion for the construction of Long Thanh airport, the would-be largest of its kind in Vietnam.
Vietnam is considering Sweden’s loans to build Long Thanh International Airport and develop the air traffic control activities, according to Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Vu Dai Thang.

Long Thanh International Airport is in need of huge investment capital, for which financial support from other countries, including Vietnam’s development partners such as Sweden, is very important, said Thang at a conference held last week discussing the financial mechanism for Long Thanh airport.

TĐH: Where are Vietnam Airlines and Viet Jet? Vietnam Airline, try hard, OK? I am embarrassed by Viet Jet! Come on, world! Fly our airline, Vietnamese women have great bodies. Look at them in bikini! Better than beer ôm and coffee ôm. Think about our women’s bodies while you fly with us. You will realize that our women have greatest bodies in the world.
That is surely a good way to get money from men with hormone at the level of teenager. It embarrasses both Vietnamese women and men. And looks like the driving force behind all this is a woman too. Is she a real woman, or a sick male chauvinist in disguise? Or she is simply sick by obsession with money making? Wow, money, mony, money! Such a great driving force of human psyche!

(NLĐO)- Cạnh tranh trong hàng không là cần thiết để tránh thế độc quyền, song cạnh tranh quá mức, cạnh tranh không lành mạnh thì không hay và gây ra nhiều hệ quả, trong đó có vấn đề an toàn.
Hệ quả khó lường
Thủ tướng Nguyễn Xuân Phúc trong một cuộc họp về hàng không mới đây nhận định thời gian qua, ngành hàng không Việt Nam đã khởi sắc với việc ra đời của các hãng hàng không mới, tạo sự cạnh tranh có lợi cho khách hàng. Tuy nhiên, Thủ tướng lưu ý một số bất cập nảy sinh có nguy cơ uy hiếp an ninh, an toàn hàng không, chất lượng dịch vụ chưa đảm bảo và bắt đầu có hiện tượng cạnh tranh không lành mạnh.
Airport Council International (ACI), a non-profit organization representing the world’s airports, has just named Vietnam the number one market on its 10 fastest emerging aviation markets.
Vietnam is expected to see an increase of 7.8%, which can be accounted for in the thriving tourism industry, Vietnam is a prime spot for many travellers. As the demand for electrics refuses to diminish, Vietnam will continue with its growth, with its largest industry being electronics, ACI said.
