Flooding continues to threaten Tan Son Nhat International AirportVietNamNet Bridge – Tan Son Nhat International Airport in HCM City is still at risk of being flooded during the rainy season, as all of the drainage canals are blocked with trash. Specifically, inside the airport, the 1,000mm drain from the Tan Son Nhat Petroleum Joint Stock Company to Nhat Ban Canal was partially blocked by construction waste. The drainage system inside the airport was considered to be incomplete and incomprehensive, and failed to effectively connect to the drainage system outside the airport. Roughly 40 per cent of all flights in the country were from or to Tan Son Nhat Airport. According to the centre, it is necessary to improve the drainage system inside the airport to make sure that it can connect properly with the drainage system outside.
