The airport is being developed in two phases and is slated to become Vietnam’s second-largest airport, with the first phase targeting operations in time for the APEC 2027 summit.

The stock has been supported by the company’s strong project pipeline and improving financial performance. The construction sector in Vietnam is benefiting from large-scale infrastructure spending, particularly in transportation and aviation. Coteccons’ involvement in Gia Binh Airport positions it as a key contractor in the country’s airport development program.
Strategic Significance

Successful delivery of the Gia Binh Airport project could enhance Coteccons’ reputation and lead to further large-scale contracts in Vietnam’s expanding aviation sector.
