Tan Son Nhat Capacity Constraints
SGN is one of Southeast Asia's most congested airports, regularly operating beyond its designed annual capacity of 28 million passengers. Ground delays and sequencing holds are common. Vietnam's government has approved Long Thanh International Airport, planned for 25 million annual passengers initially, to relieve pressure. The first phase is targeted for the late 2020s. Until then, SGN congestion affects all routes including the HAN corridor.
