The T3 Passenger Terminal construction project includes four main items: the passenger terminal, the high-rise parking garage combined with non-aviation services, the overpass system in front of the terminal and the aircraft parking lot. With a total investment of up to VND 10,990 billion, the project is invested by ACV and is being constructed at an urgent pace. The rough concrete part of the passenger terminal is 100% complete, while the rough construction architecture has reached 90%. Similarly, the high-rise parking garage has also completed the rough part and reached 85% in terms of architecture.

The aluminum roof has a total area of 60,000 m², of which the first layer roof of the passenger terminal has reached 100%. Other items such as the glass curtain wall have been completed at the factory and are being transported to the construction site for installation. For the electromechanical system, the progress has reached 70% to 95% depending on the area.

According to Mr. Le Khac Hong - Head of the T3 Passenger Terminal Construction Project Management Board, the total project volume has reached about 70%. To ensure the project is inaugurated on April 30, 2025, the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, the entire project must be completed one month in advance - that is, there are only about 200 days left to complete. Mr. Le Khac Hong shared that this 90-day competition will focus all efforts on completing the entire terminal roof, facade glass, floor tiling, installation and connection of electromechanical equipment (UC), as well as energizing the project. With the pressure of progress, ACV is mobilizing maximum resources, including more than 2,500 workers, engineers and hundreds of machines and equipment, working continuously day and night 24/7.

The T3 Passenger Terminal Project will start construction at the end of 2022. When completed, this will be a domestic terminal with a capacity of serving 20 million passengers per year, serving about 7,000 passengers during peak hours, and operating all types of code C and code E aircraft. The project will completely solve the current overload situation of Tan Son Nhat airport, contributing to improving passenger service capacity in the future.
