Passengers pay attention to avoid the wrong station in Tan Son Nhat
In order to prepare for the official exploitation, Vietnam Airlines cooperated with Tan Son Nhat International Airport to organize large -scale drills, checking the entire operation process to ensure safety and smoothness for passengers in the early stages of operation.
From April 17, flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Van Don of Vietnam Airlines will switch to operating at T3 station. By the end of April, all domestic flights of Vietnam Airlines (except for trips to Con Dao, Ca Mau, Rach Gia) will officially move to a new station.
Vietjet Air will also operate the entire domestic flight from T3 in the near future.
However, because the T3 station is only served inland, is located from T1, T2 station due to being separated by two parallel rollers, passengers should pay attention to distinguish to avoid the wrong station.
If you follow the detour from the T1 station gate (Truong Son street) to the gate of T3 station (connecting Tran Quoc Hoan - Cong Hoa) passengers takes about 2 km.
To support passengers, Tan Son Nhat airport will organize shuttle bus (Shuttle Bus) with a frequency of 20 minutes/trip, continuous operation between three T1 - T2 - T3 terminals.
