Tan Son Nhat airport was built during the Vietnam War to support war transportation, hence its location inside the crowded Ho Chi Minh City where growth is limited.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport is the only international airport in the planned Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area (covering 30,404 square kilometres (11,739 sq mi), with an estimated population of 20-22 million inhabitants by 2020, of which there will be 16 - 17 million urban inhabitants, accounting for 77 - 80% of total population). The first phase of the project (with a capacity of 25 million passengers per year, one terminal, one 4000 m x 60 m runway) was officially approved by the Prime Minister of Vietnam on November 11, 2020, with completion planned in 2025. Vietnam Airlines is suggested by the project consultants as the only Vietnamese carrier to operate flights from Long Thanh other airlines will wholly stay at the older Tan Son Nhat Airport. It will replace the existing Tan Son Nhat International Airport as the city's main airport. The project is the most expensive infrastructure project in Vietnam's history. The airport will serve over 100 million passengers annually when built to the maximum designed capacity. Construction began the next day on January 5, 2021, and its first phase is scheduled to be finished by 2025.
The Vietnamese government approved its construction on January 4, 2021. Long Thanh International Airport ( Vietnamese: Sân bay Quốc tế Long Thành) is an international airport currently under construction in Long Thành district, Đồng Nai province, Vietnam, approximately 40 km (25 mi) east of Ho Chi Minh City.
