About Tan Son Nhat International Airport
Overview
Tan Son Nhat International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest metropolitan area. As a major hub with two substantial concrete runways (10,007ft and 12,468ft), the airport handles significant commercial and passenger traffic. Its low elevation of 33ft MSL and strategic location make it a critical transportation infrastructure for southern Vietnam.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences consistently favorable flying conditions, with VFR conditions prevailing 76.9% of the time. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at an average of 5.4 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 18 knots. Temperature ranges from 18°C to 35°C, with an average of 27.2°C, providing stable atmospheric conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
Both runways (07L/25R and 07R/25L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind of 3.3 knots. The airport's low elevation and consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles create predictable approach and landing environments. January, November, and December represent the best VFR months for flight operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect reliable approach conditions with extremely low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR at only 3.1%, LIFR at 0.2%). The westerly prevailing winds suggest runway 07 approaches will typically be most favorable. Calm wind conditions are minimal, occurring just 1.7% of the time, which further supports consistent approach planning.
