Tan Son Nhat Airport — Terminal 2
Terminal 2 is the international terminal of Tan Son Nhat. It opened in December 2007, built by a consortium of four Japanese contractors — Kajima, Taisei, Obayashi and Maeda (KTOM) — and funded by Japanese official development assistance at a cost of US$219 million. Two expansion phases have since taken it to 115,834 m² with 26 boarding gates.
