Vietnam's top airport begins work to double capacity

Tan Son Nhat International invests in expansion to counter congestion

Tan Son Nhat International Airport near Ho Chi Minh City will be upgraded ahead of the projected 2025 opening for the nearby Long Thanh International Airport.

HO CHI MINH CITY -- Tan Son Nhat International Airport is adding a runway, two terminals and extra aircraft aprons in an upgrade designed to let Vietnam's busiest hub handle 40 million to 50 million passengers annually.

The government gave the green light for the expansion after the Defense Ministry agreed to clear some of its operations out of the airport, as well as from Noi Bai and Danang international airports, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.
