Starting Saturday, Vietnam Airlines will relocate all remaining domestic flights to Terminal T3 at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City. This follows a successful 20-day pilot during which the airline operated routes between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City and Van Don, from the new terminal.

 

While Vietnam Airlines makes the shift, other carriers—Vietjet Air, Pacific Airlines, Vasco, Vietravel Airlines, and Bamboo Airways—along with Vietnam Airlines' ATR72 flights to Con Dao, Ca Mau, and Rach Gia, will continue using Terminal T1.

 

This transition is geared towards optimizing airport operations, improving passenger experience, and streamlining check-in and baggage procedures. Passengers traveling during this period should pay close attention to airline and airport announcements for updates on check-in counters and boarding gate details.

 

Officially opened on April 19, Terminal T3 represents a significant infrastructure investment at nearly VND11 trillion ($430 million). It's designed to accommodate up to 20 million passengers annually and can manage roughly 7,000 passengers per peak hour.

 

Terminal T3 is a state-of-the-art facility featuring one basement and four above-ground floors, covering an area of 112,500 square meters. It offers 90 standard check-in counters, 20 self-service baggage-drop counters, and 42 automated check-in kiosks, all equipped with advanced technology integrated with Vietnam's national population database.

 

Additional amenities at Terminal T3 include a multi-storey parking garage with non-aviation services, an expansive aircraft apron, and a newly-built elevated road network designed to facilitate efficient passenger movement. This move marks a significant step in enhancing aviation infrastructure and passenger services at Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
