During the passing time, the Noi Bai International Airport recorded a huge number of private vehicles picking up passengers with a triple volume over the pre-Covid-19 pandemic period causing high pressure on connectivity to parking lots. On the other hand, the rate of passengers using public vehicles to the airport reduced sharply, reaching around 30 percent compared with the pre-Covid-19 pandemic period.
The Noi Bai International Airport has strengthened the airport security forces and collaborated with the Noi Bai police division to regulate the vehicles, opened all exit lanes of ticket control in some timelines; restricted the vehicles to stop and park at positions in front of the T1 passenger terminal to create clear traffic flow for passengers.
The Noi Bai International Airport suggested passengers limit their private vehicle usage and strengthen public vehicles to easily access the terminals. The vehicles are required not to enter the parking lots in advance of the landing time too early to avoid pressure and comply with parking regulations.
