Hanoi (VNA) - Domestic flights of the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines and the new-generation carrier Vietjet Air will officially operate from Terminal 3 of Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport from May 5.

This passenger terminal will experience a trial operation on the Tan Son Nhat - Van Don - Tan Son Nhat (SGN-VDO-SGN) route with these two airlines at 4am on April 24, and on the Tan Son Nhat - Noi Bai - Tan Son Nhat (SGN-HAN-SGN) route at 4am on April 28. Meanwhile, the other four airlines—Vasco, Bamboo Airways, Vietravel Airlines, and Pacific Airlines—will continue to operate from the existing domestic Terminal T1.

To ensure safety during the transition, the airport requests that airlines, ground service units, and aviation and non-aviation service providers ensure their staff are updated on the latest information. They are also urged to review all equipment and procedures, prepare human resources, and provide proper training to handle potential emergencies during both the testing phases and long-term operations.

These units are advised to cooperate closely with the airport to promptly update information and implement the appropriate operational plans. They should also communicate the necessary information to passengers and agents.

Passengers are reminded to go to the designated terminal for check-in procedures to avoid delays that could impact service quality and the brand image of both service providers and the airport. For any issues, difficulties, suggestions, or recommendations arising, the units should coordinate with the Tan Son Nhat Airport Operations Centre for resolution.

Terminal 3 aims to alleviate the overcrowding challenges faced by the country’s busiest airport in recent years. Designed to handle 20 million passengers annually, it includes four main components: the passenger terminal, a multi-story parking facility integrated with non-aviation services, the elevated road system at the terminal frontage, and aircraft aprons. The total investment for the terminal is nearly 11 trillion VND (431.2 million USD), with construction beginning in December 2022./.
