A multi-story parking garage with a maximum capacity of 2,000 cars and 6,000 motorbikes has been opened at Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City today, November 16.
The garage, invested by Ho Chi Minh City-based TCP JSC, spans 11,351 square meters opposite the airport’s domestic terminal, with an additional 10,000 square meters reserved for driveways, additional parking lots and parks.
The parking garage has one basement floor, one mezzanine and five stories, and can hold up to 1,742 cars and 6,000 motorbikes, while the outdoor car park has 239 slots for taxis and passenger buses.
The 2,264-square-meter basement is still under construction, but will be linked to the domestic terminal via an underpass upon completion.
The ground floor of the building faces the airport’s domestic terminal and is reserved for catering services.
TCP deputy executive Pham Van Chau explained that the parking garage includes an intelligent fire extinguishing system that can shut off areas that may be on fire from the remaining parts of the building.
Fees at the parking garage are VND5,000 (US$0.22) per eight hours for motorbikes and VND20,000 ($0.88) per thirty minutes for cars.
