French consultant offers Tan Son Nhat Airport expansion plansVietNamNet Bridge – Building a new terminal and more taxiways without building another runway and improving access to the airport are among the solutions suggested by a French consultancy for expanding HCM City’s Tan Son Nhat Airport. The company forecast that by 2025 passenger traffic through Tan Son Nhat would reach 51 million a year and cargo, nearly one million tonnes. The limited taxiway system and insufficient tools to exploit airspace cap the airport’s capacity at the current 36 million passengers a year, they said. They recommended limiting the airport’s capacity to 50 million passengers by 2025 so that no additional runway would have to be built. Tan Son Nhat now has two terminals that serve 32 million passengers annually, well above its designed capacity of 25 million.
