HCM City (VNA)ꦏ – Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City is gearing up to handle a surge in passenger traffic during the upcoming National Day holiday (September 2), with an estimated 120,000 travelers expected to pass through its terminals each day.
This represents an 8% increase from current levels, signaling a busy period ahead for Vietnam’s largest airport.
The peak days are expected to be August 30 for departures and September 3 for arrivals, with up to 125,000 passengers and approximately 730 flights scheduled on each of those days. Overall, the airport will manage around 700 flights daily, a 5% rise compared to the usual 660 flights per day.
In preparation for the holiday rush, the airport has implemented comprehensive plans to ensure smooth operations, focusing on passenger service, security, and safety.
It is closely coordinating with various stakeholders to keep flight operations running smoothly, particularly during peak hours. Infrastructure and systems have also been fine-tuned to handle the increased demand.
To further support the influx of travelers, the airport will deploy volunteers from its youth union and the Vietnam Aviation Academy. These volunteers will assist passengers at security checkpoints and in public areas of the domestic terminal during peak hours, from 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM, between August 30 and September 3. Additionally, ground service teams are prepared to manage the increased number of nighttime flights.
