Passengers at the International Terminal T2 at Danang Airport.
Following the restrictions, which will be applied between 8 am until midnight from December 10, only passengers, airline employees, airport staff, and individuals authorised by competent authorities will be permitted to enter the airport’s departure hall.
People who pick up or see off passengers will not be permitted entry.
According to the Danang International Terminal Investment and Operation Joint Stock Company, the restriction is part of their plan designed to prevent overcrowding, maintain safety and public order, and ensure that passengers are able to efficiently navigate the airport.
"A team will be available in the area to instruct passengers and provide support to those who need assistance, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and children," the company said. "We hope that this will help passengers have better experiences at the airport during the upcoming holiday season."
Earlier this year, Hanoi's Noi Bai Airport also started applying similar measures following recommendations from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.
The Danang International Airport is the country’s third largest, after Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat airports. It covers an area of 85 hectares and has a designed capacity of 10 million passengers a year. Of this, International Terminal 2 can serve four million passengers per year, while Domestic Terminal 2 can handle six million. The airport has been planned to be expanded to 85.50 hectares by 2030 when its capacity will increase to 25 million passengers.
