The project to build Terminal T3 at Tan Son Nhat Airport, invested by Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV), started construction at the end of 2022 with a total investment of nearly VND 11,000 billion and a construction period of 24 months.
After more than a year, this national key project has completed 50% of the rough construction. At the construction site, there are about 1,600 officers, engineers, supervisors and workers working day and night to meet the overall progress.
According to the plan, the project will be completed and put into operation in June 2025, with a capacity of serving 20 million passengers/year, 7,000 passengers/peak hour, helping to increase the capacity of Tan Son Nhat airport to 50 million passengers/year, contributing to solving the overload situation that has lasted for many years.

Currently, at the construction site, there are 6 contractors maintaining about 1,400 workers and more than 200 engineers, 16 tower cranes, over 350 vehicles, to ensure construction resources. Contractors also divided the area into small sections for rolling construction, working in two shifts a day (from 6am to 10pm, except for concrete and material transportation and waste disposal, which operate overnight). Mr. Nguyen Van Minh (48 years old, from An Giang) said: "Currently, the contractor is speeding up the progress, so many of us will stay and work through Tet. Some others, like me, who returned to their hometowns to celebrate Tet with their families, will also be mobilized to return to the construction site soon." According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Toan, Director of the T3 Terminal Project Management Board, the entire project will be completed in about 15 months. “To shorten the progress, the construction site must work during Tet; the contractor has prepared this plan. The units ensure to maintain at least 60-70% of the construction workers during Tet,” Mr. Toan shared.
The investor representative, Mr. Le Khac Hong - Head of the Project Management Board, said that T3 terminal has two main construction packages. Of which, package 11 includes demolition, ground, pile foundation, basement floor, starting on December 24, 2022, and completing on November 15, 2023. The remaining package is construction and equipment installation. The new T3 terminal started construction more than 3 months ago, but the rough construction volume has reached 50%, including the construction of the terminal, high-rise parking lot, high-rise access road in front of the terminal...
The investor expects the entire rough construction of the terminal to be completed by May 15. The entire rough construction of the multi-storey parking lot and the commercial center will be completed by August 10. If the progress is well controlled as it is now, the project will be completed by June 2025. According to the design, Terminal T3 has a scale of 1 basement and 4 floors above ground, with a total construction floor area of 112,500 m2. The terminal has two separate departure and arrival levels, 90 traditional airline check-in counters, 20 automatic bagdrop counters and 42 check-in kiosks, 27 boarding gates, 16 baggage handling islands, and 25 passenger security control gates. The project also has a high-rise parking lot combined with non-aviation services, a complex of 2 basements, 4 above-ground floors and a 3-storey motorbike parking block connected by a corridor...
