After 2030, Ho Chi Minh City will no longer have an international airport?
However, the final result is still "withdrawing" all international flights from Tan Son Nhat airport to Long Thanh airport.
Ho Chi Minh City is set for a significant transformation in its aviation landscape after 2030. The Tan Son Nhat International Airport, currently a bustling hub, is slated to cease its operations as an international gateway.
This strategic move is part of a broader plan to optimize air travel and urban development in the southern key economic region of Vietnam.
The Long Thanh International Airport, currently under construction in Dong Nai province, will take over as the primary international airport for the region. This new mega-airport is designed to handle a much larger capacity of passengers and cargo, positioning itself as a major aviation hub in Southeast Asia.
The land currently occupied by Tan Son Nhat Airport is expected to be repurposed for urban development, potentially including commercial, residential, and green spaces, contributing to the city's overall growth and modernization.
This long-term vision aims to enhance connectivity, reduce congestion, and create new opportunities for Ho Chi Minh City and its surrounding areas.
Key takeaways:
* Tan Son Nhat Airport will no longer operate as an international airport after 2030.* Long Thanh International Airport will become the main international gateway for the southern region.
* The land from Tan Son Nhat is planned for urban development.
* This is part of a strategic plan to boost regional connectivity and development.
