HCM City airport prepares for peak season during Tet holiday

During the three-day New Year 2023 holiday between December 31 and January 2, 2023, roughly 720 flights are expected to depart from and arrive at Tan Son Nhat Airport, carrying a total of 115,000 passengers.

As part of efforts to ease overcrowding at the airport, plans have been devised in order to add check-in counters, waiting chairs for passengers at domestic and international gates, and improve the technical system.

All staff are mobilised in a bid to serve the peak travel season.

Passengers are therefore advised to arrive at the airport two hours prior to their departure time for domestic flights and three hours in advance for international flights.

The airport will open additional aprons and taxiways before the start of the New Year holiday in a bid to help reduce traffic congestion.

During the New Year holiday the southern airport is usually seriously overloaded, both on the ground and in the air due to people flying home or to holiday destinations in order to enjoy the festive season.

The airport has a design capacity of 25 million passengers, although the passenger throughput is around 30 million to 40 million each Lunar New Year holiday.
