Ho Chi Minh City International Airport in a nutshell

Ho Chi Minh City

Tan Son Nhat Airport is the largest in Vietnam and is located less than 8 kilometres from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City in a dense residential area.

Due to the ever-growing air traffic in Vietnam and limited development opportunities, the airport is constantly congested and suffers from rather protracted queues for security and passport control. To be on the safe side, it is best to arrive at least 3 hours before departure.

Vietnam Airlines, Vietjetair, Bamboo Airways and Pacific Airlines have bases here.

Very frequent connections are to domestic Vietnamese destinations. For example, the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City route is the 6th busiest in the world.

Numerous connecting flights operate from Tan Son Nhat Airport to the whole of East and Southeast Asia, with direct services also to the Middle East, Europe and Australia.
