Tan Son Nhat International Airport will be expanded to the south with a third passenger terminal, as recommended by the French consultant ADPI, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has decided.
The
plan for Tan Son Nhat Airport expansion
The new terminal will have a floor area of 200,000 square metres
and will be able to handle 20 million passengers a year, adding to the current
capacity of 25 million, although the airport already served 36 million
passengers last year.
The expansion is estimated to cost VND18
trillion (US$792 million) and is expected to be fully completed by 2025.
The land to the north of Tan Son Nhat,
which includes a golf course and a 16-hectare lot managed by the Ministry of
Defence, will be used as a cargo terminal and support facilities after 2025.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc
emphasised that the chosen plan achieves the highest efficiency in land and
capital use, as well as guaranteeing technical, security and safety issues.
According to ADPI, the construction of a
terminal to the north of the airport would cost double and take longer, while
the new terminal would be separate from the two existing terminals, making
landing and take-off procedures less efficient.
The French consultant said that the
first phase of chosen plan could be completed in 2-3 years, helping to ease the
pressure on the overburdened airport.
Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The
stated that ADPI is a completely independent consultant and its proposal is the
optimum.
Deputy Minister of Defence Phan Van Giang
confirmed his support for this plan and pledged to hand over the remaining 16
hectares under its control for the airport expansion.
