Commenting on the organization of traffic at Tan Son Nhat airport, Mr. Nguyen Van Quyen – chairman of the Vietnam Automobile Transport Association – said that there should be parallel management between the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City and the Department of Transport aviation management agency at Tan Son Nhat airport. The airport is located in Ho Chi Minh City, so the local responsibility must be attached to the same management instead of only the airline side as at present.

If there is a locality to manage, there will be no situation where the bus is not parked at that place. The City Department of Transport at this time is actively developing a plan, prioritizing the development of publ...
