This transfer will finally relieve the current airport, known for the chronic congestion of its facilities. <strong>By 2024, Tan Son Nhat had welcomed almost 40 million passengers<\/strong> for a capacity of <strong>30 million<\/strong>. The opening in April of Terminal 3, reserved for domestic traffic, nevertheless improved passenger handling. However, this did not improve the saturated runway system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-deux-scenarios-sur-la-table\">Two scenarios on the table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) is considering two options. <strong>The first, and preferred, option would be to consolidate all international flights at Long Thanh.<\/strong>with a few domestic routes for connecting passengers. Tan Son Nhat would then concentrate solely on domestic flights, with an estimated 29.5 million passengers per year. Long Thanh, on the other hand, would handle an estimated 19.1 million international passengers and 1.5 million passengers on domestic routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The second option would maintain certain international connections at Tan Son Nhat.<\/strong> short-haul (less than 1,000 km). For example to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/mama-shelter-destination-bangkok-20250724.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bangkok<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/fin-lgv-malaisie-singapour-20210110.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kuala Lumpur<\/a>Phnom Penh or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/singapour-art-recevoir-20230223.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Singapore<\/a>. This represents traffic of 3.8 million passengers. Long Thanh would welcome 15.3 million international passengers in its first year of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authorities are also rushing to finish the <strong>future motorways and the urban ring road linking Long Than to Saigon<\/strong>. Although a metro and even a high-speed train are planned for Vietnam's new mega-airport, it will be at least a decade before they become a reality...<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vietnamese airport authority has approved the transfer of international flights from Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City to the
