TCP Vietnam Investment JSC, which operates the parking lot at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Binh District, said the company installed the two elevators, each capable of carrying 24 people, on Monday. The municipal Department of Transport had requested the TCP to build these elevators earlier this year after Tan Son Nhat, currently the largest airport in Vietnam, upgraded its transport infrastructure. Last November, Tan Son Nhat only designated one car lane for drop-off purposes, while two others would be used for pick-ups, and the last by taxis. The changes mean all ride-hailing services have to access the third, fourth or fifth floors of the TCP parking lot to pick up customers.

As there are currently only two elevators, many have had to use the … [Read more...] about Tan Son Nhat airport installs extra parking lot elevators
