Speaking to Thanh Nien on the afternoon of April 28, a representative of Tan Son Nhat International Airport said that the unit is urgently completing the roof system to facilitate passengers waiting for technology cars at the international terminal area.
The canopy is almost completed at the new technology pick-up area.
This work was prepared right after the change of the technology car pick-up point, but because the project had to dig the foundation and drive piles, it needed time to wait for the concrete layer underneath to dry. At the same time, the roof system was waiting to be imported from Japan, so in order to put it into use in time for the April 30 - May 1 holidays, the workers had to work through the night in the past few days.
Currently, a part of the canopy has been completed and will be put into service for passengers from tomorrow (April 29) - the first peak day of the holiday. It is expected that by May 5, the entire canopy system will cover the nearly 20m stretch of road that passengers walk from in front of the terminal to the international parking lot to catch a technology taxi.
The canopy will be installed along a nearly 20m stretch from the front of the international terminal to the technology parking lot.
In parallel, Tan Son Nhat Port has developed a specific plan and working plan with technology car companies to guide passengers from the terminal entrance to the technology car park and open a separate exit lane for technology cars at this new location.
Previously, from April 15, Tan Son Nhat airport has changed the pick-up location of the technology car system. If previously, technology taxis were arranged to pick up passengers at 5 locations in lane B - international arrival terminal (columns 9 - 12), now they have switched to pick up passengers at 11 locations in the international terminal parking lot. The parking lot is less than 20m from the old pick-up area.
"The adjustment of technology vehicles at the international arrival terminal is part of the overall adjustment of Tan Son Nhat International Airport's traffic infrastructure with the aim of reducing congestion during peak periods. The port has worked with the Southern Airport Authority to implement the overall arrangement of technology vehicles, taxis, contract vehicles, private vehicles and buses to best serve the exploitation activities, especially during peak periods. Technology vehicles are only the first subject of adjustment, not the only one" - Tan Son Nhat Port representative informed.
Volunteers assist passengers with security screening procedures on the afternoon of April 28.
