Ho Chi Minh Airport Terminals
Ho Chi Minh City Airport stands for the largest and busiest international airport in Vietnam, being its main international gateway.
Aside of serving Ho Chi Minh City, SGN Airport also serves the south eastern part of the country.
Ho Chi Minh Airport has three terminals, the Domestic Terminal 1, the International Terminal 2 and the New Domestic Terminal 3. Each terminal has its own building with separate sections for domestic and international services.
Present and Future
Due to the airports’ growth, the government decided two major mesures: To built another terminal in Tan Son Naht Airport (the new Terminal 3, inaugurated in 2025).
But there is another plan too: Tan Son Nhat is located inside the city, so it can’t grow a lot more. There was a plan approved in 2011 to build a new airport: Long Thanh International Airport. It is expected to be completed by 2026.
Long Thanh International Airport will be in charge to handle all the international flights, while Tan Son Nhat Airport will handle the domestic and regional ones.
Domestic Terminal 1
Aside of handling Domestic services, it is the oldest terminal in the airport and has a capacity of 15 million passengers per year.
International Terminal 2
Also known as the new terminal, handles all international services to and from Ho Chi Minh Airport.
It has a capacity of 10 million passengers per year.
New Domestic Terminal 3
Terminal 3 (T3) at Tan Son Nhat International Airport is the newest addition, officially inaugurated on April 19, 2025. It handles domestic flights.
