Ho Chi Minh City, a private aviation
gateway for business travel
Ho Chi Minh City generates roughly 25% of Vietnam's GDP and hosts the regional headquarters of hundreds of multinational corporations across manufacturing, finance, tech and real estate. The city's Saigon Hi-Tech Park and surrounding industrial zones draw frequent visits from C-suite executives and investment teams from Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong, making Tan Son Nhat one of the busiest business aviation gateways in Southeast Asia.
Tan Son Nhat International (VVTS/SGN) operates 24/7 and handles private and business aviation through a dedicated general aviation terminal on the domestic apron. The airport sits just 7 km from District 1, translating to a 15-25 minute ground transfer under normal traffic conditions — exceptional for an airport of its size. The main runway (25L/07R) measures 3,800 m, fully capable of accommodating large-cabin jets including the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500 without range or payload compromise.
Slot coordination is required given Tan Son Nhat's congestion — it is one of the most capacity-constrained airports in Southeast Asia — and PPR (Prior Permission Required) for general aviation movements is standard practice. Flight planning teams should account for VVTS slot lead times and coordinate with local handlers well in advance, particularly during Tet Festival (January/February), when both commercial and charter traffic surges across all Vietnamese airports. Phu Quoc (PQC) and Da Nang (DAD) are common onward legs for clients combining business in HCMC with leisure travel.
