Tan Son Nhat Airport officially collects non-stop fees

On the afternoon of February 6 (December 27), Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV) officially tested a cashless collection system at the entrance/exit area of ​​Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Tan Son Nhat International Airport).

Trial operation period from February 6 to March 7, helping to shorten the payment time of vehicles and reduce congestion during the Tet peak season.

ACV representative said that they have installed RFID reading equipment, license plate recognition cameras and software systems to collect service fees, similar to the method currently being deployed at expressway toll stations.

The systems deployed at airports have been integrated with the national non-stop toll collection system.

All vehicles with a traffic wallet account used on national highways and expressways can make non-stop payments through the service toll lanes of Tan Son Nhat International Airport, without the need to stick an additional card or create additional procedures.

ACV will continue to diversify the forms of service fee collection at the port entrance/exit areas through international payment cards, QR codes via bank applications or e-wallets. Applying a variety of payment methods when traveling through airports creates favorable conditions for vehicle owners, minimizing stopping/parking time to less than 5 seconds/transaction, solving the inconvenience of using cash for vehicle owners.

ACV said that during the testing period, there will be technical staff from the equipment system supplier on duty at Tan Son Nhat to support operations.

Recently, ACV and HITD have conducted surveys and developed plans to install equipment and connect cashless and automatic collection systems at Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai International Airports.

A taxi driver said that implementing non-stop toll collection will help drivers not have to stop to pay fares, especially on routes from the airport to Truong Son Street to Cong Hoa, which will be more convenient.

Previously, regarding the issue of non-stop toll collection at airports, the Department of Roads proposed that the Ministry of Transport report to the Prime Minister to allow the pilot implementation of non-stop electronic toll collection service at the two largest airports in the country, Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat, for a period of 6 months.

The purpose of the above proposal is to create convenience for people, shorten the time for vehicles to enter and exit the airport, thereby reducing congestion in and outside the airport.

Currently, ACV is implementing service fees for vehicles picking up and dropping off passengers at two airport groups. Group 1 applies to Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai, and Da Nang airports. Vehicles entering and leaving within 10 minutes will be charged VND10,000/trip for vehicles with less than 9 seats, VND15,000/trip for vehicles with 10-30 seats, and VND25,000/trip for vehicles with 30 seats or more.

Group 2 is the remaining airports that charge a fee of VND5,000/trip for cars with less than 9 seats, VND10,000/trip for cars with 10-16 seats, VND15,000/trip for cars with 16-29 seats, and VND25,000/trip for cars with 30 seats or more.

Cars entering the airport more than 10 minutes will be charged an additional car parking service fee.
