Thousands of workers are racing against time to clean, install, and check every detail to ensure the terminal is ready for operation in time for the upcoming Reunification Day holiday on April 30.

With cleaning vehicles running through the night and workers meticulously polishing large glass panels, all are working with a shared goal: bringing the project to completion.

A representative from the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday that most of the major components are already complete. 

What remains are final tasks such as cleaning and rechecking systems and equipment.

Construction of the T3 terminal began in December 2022 at a total cost of some VND11 trillion ($426 million).

The terminal has one basement and four above-ground floors, with a total construction floor area of 112,500 square meters.

The project comprises a passenger terminal, a multi-story parking facility with commercial services, an elevated road system, and an aircraft parking area.

The terminal is expected to serve more than 20 million passengers annually and handle up to 7,000 passengers per hour during peak times.

The facility is equipped with 89 traditional check-in counters, 20 self-service baggage drop stations, 42 check-in kiosks, 26 boarding gates, and 25 security screening points.
