During the Tet peak, Terminal T2 maintained more than 60,000 passengers per day. Despite the immense pressure, airport representatives said no serious congestion occurred, thanks largely to load-sharing from the newly operated Terminal T3. With significant design capacity, T3 alone handled 454 flights and nearly 68,000 passengers on the peak day, accounting for almost 40 percent of the airport’s total volume. This substantially eased pressure on Terminal T1, which had long been overloaded during major holidays. Notably, Terminal T3 was not only a relief valve but also became the most dynamic operating zone at the airport.
