The consortium is led by Turkish contractor IC İçtaş İnşaat and includes Vietnam's Ricons, Newtecons, Vinaconex and Construction Corporation No.1.

When completed, the airport will become Vietnam’s biggest, Reuters reported, adding that the country looks to it to help drive economic growth post-COVID.
