In the 21-hectare plot of land that has just been handed over by the Ministry of Defence, the Airports Corporation is also finalising all preparations for another 13 new aprons. As scheduled, these 21 aprons will be put into use by the 2018 Tet Holiday. Recently, the lack of aprons was the reason why Tân Sơn Nhất airport has been facing delays in both ground service areas and in the air.
