Tan Son Nhat Airport

Tan Son Nhat currently operates from a single terminal building with separate sections for International and Domestic flights. 4 aerobridges were added in the late 1990s prior to which planes parked away from the terminal and passengers took buses to/from the terminal. The current capacity of this terminal is 7 million passengers per annum.  A new International Terminal is currently under construction with the first phase due for opening in 2007. When fully completed this four floor terminal will increase capacity to 8 million passengers a year and the total capacity of this airport will reach 15 million passengers per year. The current terminal will become fully domestic. After 2015, when Long Thanh International Airport is completed, Tan Son Nhat will serve domestic passengers only.  Both Arrivals and Departures are split across two floors.
The man in the middle spoils the photo, so ignore him.
This photo was taken in domestic waiting room, Tan Son Nhat airport. It's ridiculous that we are not allowed to take photo here. Anyway, I managed to take some.

On 27/10/1976, the Prime Minister issued Decision 426/TTg to establish Thuduc University of Technical Education. This was unified with Thu Duc Industrial secondary School in 1984 to form University of Technical Education Ho Chi Minh City, which further merged with Technical Teacher Training School No. 5 in 1991 to become the University of Technical Education – Ho Chi Minh City.  From 27/01/1995 to 10/10/2000, the UTE was an affiliate to Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. By the Prime Minister Decision 118/2000/QĐ-TTg, the UTE split from Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City and became a university directly under the Ministry of Education & Training.
